Just wondered how people get part time jobs on returning from maternity leave. I'm requesting a reduction to part time on my return but not hopeful due to my job role.
I've been looking for a new job just in general but they all say 'full time position'. What do I do? Can I only apply to jobs that state 'part time' or can I apply to the full time ones and if I get offered one ask if I can do it part time?/should i mention it at interview?
Never been in this situation before, I returned to my job full time after my first maternity leave (no choice) and I hated it and I def don't want to and can't afford childcare costs for two in nursery.
I'm reluctant to just give up my job as I'm not sure about how easy it will be to get a job in 4 years time when youngest starts school.
Any advice much appreciated!
