We’re a Dublin community project helping parents return to paid work that fits school hours by piloting flexible roles with local employers.
Early-stage, community-led, transparent. No unpaid roles.
180 + supporters • 35 + mums registered • 200 + employers contacted • Partnering with local and national changemakers to open new doors
Mums Hub is still young, but the energy behind it is growing fast, every mum who joins and every employer who listens helps open another real door.
Listen & Prepare
Each mum who joins fills out a short form and receives an Individual Plan, a personalised roadmap outlining next steps, outreach focus, and upskilling opportunities.
If needed, we also help with CV creation or updates, confidence building, and matching existing skills to roles that fit school hours.
Connect & Upskill
We’re continuously reaching out to local employers and organisations to promote the creation of paid school-hour jobs and to advocate for parents who can only work part-time.
At the same time, we connect mums with training and education opportunities, helping mums grow skills and confidence.
Pilot & Prove
We’re now inviting businesses to pilot short, paid school-hour roles giving employers the chance to test flexibility without long-term commitments, and giving mums real, paid experience.
These pilots might begin small, but they build the evidence needed to expand flexible work options citywide.
Grow & Empower
We continue building partnerships with local and national changemakers to make parents who can only work during school hours a recognised and valued part of the workforce.
Each mum who joins the CV Library strengthens that voice, together we’re turning community support into real, paid, dignified opportunities.
Join the Mums Hub CV Library to be considered for paid pilot roles as they open.
You’ll also receive regular updates, light guidance through your Individual Plan, and suggestions for training or confidence-building courses to help you feel work-ready.
We’re building this movement together, one mum, one opportunity at a time.
We’re inviting local businesses and organisations to pilot short, paid school-hour roles, even just a few hours a week.
These pilots help cover real needs (like admin, social media, stock, or reception tasks) while giving parents the chance to re-enter the workforce.
There’s no long-term commitment, just a chance to test what flexible work could look like in your team.

Real voices from our community
These are just a few of the messages we’ve received since launching the Mums Hub support form honest words that show why this work matters.
"As a mum of a toddler I wish I could find a job that would allow me to support my family but also have a working hours that fit in school schedule or at least is not 9 to 5 or 9 to 6 where preschool finish 5.30. It's important initiative and would make a difference to many women who are in similar position."
"If I could work during school hours it would remove the need for childcare and the higher salary required to pay for this but also have a hugely positive impact in my family and many like mine."
"As a Mother who once had an amazing career built, I found it almost impossible to stay in employment when I became a single parent. In the end I lost my job of over 12yrs and spiraled into deep depression if I had somewhere like Mums Hub I strongly believe I would still be working and upskilling. What an amazing idea."
Mums Hub is in the process of forming partnerships with supportive employers who believe in flexible, school-hour work for mothers returning to the workforce.
As we begin placing mums into part-time and school-hour roles, we will add our confirmed employer partners here.
