Mums Hub supports mothers who are thinking about returning to work, education, training or community life after time spent caring for children or family.

We understand that returning to work is not just about writing a CV. It can involve confidence, childcare, family routines, transport, money, skills, emotional readiness and finding work that actually fits around real life.

Mums Hub works with mothers directly, while also engaging with employers, services and communities to create more realistic pathways back into work.

Individual Support for Mothers

Mums Hub offers one-to-one conversations to help mothers identify where they are now, what they would like to move towards, and what barriers may be standing in the way.

This can include talking through confidence, previous work experience, caring years, education, family responsibilities, childcare needs and realistic next steps.

Progression Planning

Together, we can create a simple progression plan that breaks things down into manageable steps.

This might include returning to learning, updating a CV, exploring local courses, looking at flexible work options, or connecting with services that can help.

CV & Employment Preparation

Mums Hub supports mothers to recognise the skills they already have, including skills developed through care, parenting, volunteering, community involvement and life experience.

Support may include CV development, preparing for interviews, talking about caring years with confidence, and exploring roles that fit around family life.

Employer Engagement

Mums Hub also speaks with employers about creating more realistic and family-compatible roles.

This includes encouraging flexible work, part-time opportunities, job-sharing and school-hour roles that allow mothers to participate in paid work without being forced to choose between employment and care.

Advocacy Around Care & Work

Mums Hub advocates for a better understanding of care work, maternal employment and the barriers faced by mothers returning to work.

This includes raising awareness around unpaid care, the value of part-time work, and the need for fairer pathways for part-time jobseekers.

Signposting & Local Connections

Mums Hub works alongside local education providers, employment services, community organisations and family supports.

We help mothers find relevant local services, courses, supports and opportunities, so they do not have to navigate everything alone.

Flexible Work & School-Hour Roles

Mums Hub explores practical work options such as school-hour roles, part-time work, job-sharing and flexible employment.

Our aim is to support mothers towards pathways that are realistic, dignified and suited to their family circumstances.

Mums Hub is here to help mothers move forward step by step, while also working to change the conditions that make returning to work so difficult in the first place.
