Is part-time working more accepted, nowadays? How have things changed? Why is it so important? Sharon Foxwell and Jo Holdom hold a discussion with Alex Kihurani. Jo and Sharon have job shared at One Voice Media, a PR and marketing agency in Devon for 12 years, where they are Associate Directors. Both are parents and Sharon’s youngest daughter has additional needs, due to a disability. Alex Kihurani is a senior manager in risk advisory and analytics at EY – and is also a successful rally car racing driver. Alex has worked part-time for years to balancing rallying and finance. And now he has another reason: his baby daughter, who hasn’t had an easy start to life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Detective Constable Nisha Chandra of the London Metropolitan Police Force has recently returned to work after maternity leave. Julie Snell, a nurse at Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, chose to return part-time, after taking early retirement, for the ‘friends and the steps’. At either end of their career cycle, both share something unusual in common: they have unique working patterns in shift-based roles. How easy is it to work part-time or ‘differently’, when you are part a greater roster system, involving hundreds of people and a variety of patterns? Julie and Nisha discuss the nitty gritty of how they make it work, how things are changing in their sectors and their hopes for the future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
