Episode Synopsis

While we may think a flexible working revolution has occurred, the numbers of part-time jobs available are still few and far between. Just 12% of UK jobs ads include the words ‘open to part-time’ and most that do are crowded around low pay bands. We speak to three women about their experiences of trying to find part-time work, to fit with caring and health needs – all with different outcomes.If you are in this situation – how can you ‘hack’ the application process, to find a decently paid part-time job that fits with your skills and ability? We explore this in today’s episode, from Timewise and the Standard Life Centre for the Future of Retirement. Check the podnotes for a 7-step interactive worksheet, designed to help you find the part-time job you want, and links to further support. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
