In our fifth episode, we look at the power of good part-time work to transform your life. We hear two extraordinary people, with incredible life stories in conversation – Professor Richard Lanyon-Hogg, a Visiting Professor in Computer Science at the University of Sheffield. Richard was a former Chief Technology Officer at IBM who purposefully started to work part-time in order to build more joyful moments into his life. Dr Katie Perry is the CEO of the Daphne Jackson Trust, a charity that supports academics to return to work after a career break. Katie herself has worked part-time twice, and in both cases, in order to reach a place of safety.

An episode jam-packed with advice on how to work part-time and enjoy a career that progresses the way you want it to. Featuring Sarah Ellis, co-host of the Squiggly Careers podcast and co-founder of career company Amazing If with Phoenix Group’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Claire Hawkins. Claire began her career as an accountant and has transitioned across many roles within finance - mostly while working part-time - before becoming one of the FTSE 100 organisation’s most senior leaders. Sarah created Squiggly Careers by ‘playing around’ on Fridays, after going part-time to give a creative niggle a whirl. Both discuss their own unconventional paths and navigating the challenges of prioritising workload and protecting boundaries while working part-time, as well as the power of supportive managers.

Detective Constable Nisha Chandra of the London Metropolitan Police Force has recently returned to work after maternity leave. Julie Snell, a nurse at Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, chose to return part-time, after taking early retirement, for the ‘friends and the steps’. At either end of their career cycle, both share something unusual in common: they have unique working patterns in shift-based roles. How easy is it to work part-time or ‘differently’, when you are part a greater roster system, involving hundreds of people and a variety of patterns? Julie and Nisha discuss the nitty gritty of how they make it work, how things are changing in their sectors and their hopes for the future.
