ways2work - Parents and carers
Preparing to return
By now you are clear about the type of job you�re looking for, the skills you�ve got and any skills you'll need to obtain.
You may be returning from parental leave and want to expand your skills or arrange care.
This section helps you with your job search and to start making any care arrangements that might be needed for your family members.
Don't give up!
It can be discouraging when an application you've worked hard on doesn't get a response, or you're not offered a job after a really good interview. Finding supportive friends and family to talk to about the ups and downs will help you stay positive and on track to find a job that suits you and your family.
Try to remind yourself that each time you apply, make a call or read a job advertisement, you are building your skills and getting one step closer to success.

We'd like to hear from you about your experiences of balancing work and family.
