Returning to work
So I know for some in this group it may seem a long way off but would love to hear how you make it work. I now have 2 children and my job is soo demanding and I don't earn a great income for the work and responsibility. I work 4 days a week, 9 hours. Flexi working is not going to be an option when I return due to the job.
Has anyone started a new job that is flexible, I still need to bring home at least £1000 a month to survive or even more if I need to pay for childcare 🤯. I want to be around for my children a little more too.
My husband is currently recovering from carpal tunnel surgery and may not be able to return to his previous job as he was in construction, heavy lifting and he is currently struggling with strength in his dominant hand 😩 the stress is real!
We have just gone from earning 2 good incomes to myself being on maternity pay and my husband not being paid at all as he's self employed, I'm really starting to worry.
Needed to share and hopefully some of you wonderful people on here have found a career or employment that suits your needs and still brings in a good income as with the cost of living we need it 😳

How are you with admin type work? Anything in the public sector (local government, universities, NHS, etc) are usually quite good with flexible work and don't pay too badly.
I may look into that thank you! I'm in Lincolnshire so hopefully there's something about!
Hey I've got an interview on Thursday for a flexible health care assistant working on my local hospital bank x
I second what Ellie has said. I’m public sector and I’m going back 4 days a week, but will compressed hours so I won’t drop my wage. The wage is usually pretty good too x
