Part time working Super Mums

[DovertheRoad]

Hi all,

I figure there must be a lot of mums locally who would perhaps like to work part time for a small city firm. I live in East Dulwich and run a consulting firm that runs IT projects for insurance market (mainly Lloyd's of London). We've had great success with hiring part time mums in the past - it's a pool of untapped, considerable talent! We are now looking for someone to help us with general admin, liaising with our team and clients and with good attention to detail to provide us with 2 days cover per week (Thursday and Fridays).

Specifically, we're looking for:

- Education to degree standard, highly literate

- Experience working within the city type environment

- Good communication skills and great on the phone.

- Neat, tidy and efficient with Word docs etc

- Ability to work well with our existing team (and another pt mum who covers Mon-Wed)

- Any experience working within project delivery environments or insurance industry a bonus (but not essential)

- We're flexible around office time versus working from home for the right person

If anyone is interested or has a friend who might fit our needs please drop me a note.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I am currently looking for part-time work for up to two days per week! My son is nine months old and I have just started looking for something to get me back in the workplace and to supplement our income.

My history is in education, I have taught and tutored in a mixture of primary and secondary settings for the last five years. I have office experience but strongly feel that teaching has many transferable skills, not least skills in organisation, communication, performance and multi-tasking under pressure and an excellent grasp of computers.

Please let me know if you'd be interested in seeing my CV or talking further. I'd love to hear more about it.

Thanks,

Gill

Thanks Gill - I will send you some details.

I posted this only yesterday and we've had a fantastic response with some very experienced, talented people replying so thank you all. We'll be looking through CV's and looking to start interviews in the next 1-2 weeks.

Someone has correctly pointed out that part-time Dad's should also be made welcome - and indeed they are....

Thanks.

I meant to add to this chain last night, and thought that I had, but clearly managed not to in my sleep deprived state!

I am jumping on the bandwagon following Dovertheroad's fantastic idea to tap the potential of the Mums and Dads out there on the forum who want flexible, part-time work.

My husband's gardening and garden design business is looking for a part-time PA/Admin assistant to help with:

Diary management and booking client appointments

Book-keeping and invoicing

General admin and staying on top of a mountain of paperwork!

I expect that we need 10-16 hours a week. The hours are completely flexible, so you could do different days and times each week to fit in around other commitments. You could work from his office in Vauxhall, our house in North Dulwich or from your own home.

Ideally, you'd need office and admin experience, good computer skills (using Xero would be an advantage) and good spoken and written English.

Please pm me for more details if you are interested.
