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.
