After five years of working full-time, I became a senior customer advisor, then left to have a baby. I took one-year’s maternity leave and faced a huge challenge coming back to work: was I doing the right thing for myself and my child? ‘Skipton agreed I could work full-time but with some flexibility to allow me time with my son. This was really important to me, and I cannot thank Skipton enough because now I get the best of both worlds – motherhood and a career.’ Kerry Ghadie, branch manager sales ‘I started my career with Skipton eight years ago as an HR consultant. Through my own hard work and support of my line manager, I have had many opportunities to develop my career and really value every opportunity I have been given. Now that I’m going to be a working mum, I will be able to build a work-life balance that suits both my job and my young family.’ Laura Allen, workforce planning specialist So, do you think you might have what it takes to work for a forward-thinking modern mutual?
