Part time HR

Nicola

Good morning,

I hope you’re all well.

I feel the need to express my frustration with the lack of stimulating part time HR roles on offer. 

Considering the fact our profession promotes the importance of offering flexible work patterns, there are very few part time HR positions around. Perhaps this is only a regional issue, but for the last few years I have seen very few HR roles on job boards.

It seems it’s full time or put up with a mixed role - finance/hr/payroll/general admin. I don’t want to wish my children’s lives away just so I can return full time. I don’t see why that should be the only option. 

Perhaps this is just an issue where I live. Maybe I’m looking on the wrong websites. I’m close to completing my level 5 Diploma and have starting to question my choice of career.

Anyone else feel this way? Any words of wisdom? Struggling to find the motivation to complete the course.

Thanks. 

Kind regards,

Nicola

  • Hi Nicola,

    I felt the same frustration! They are out there you just have to search really hard, that should not have to be the case though! I agree that HR should be leading the way and flexible working should not just be an option for a mother with young children; it should be available to all members of staff.

    Fortunately I found a part time, term time only role ideal for my family but it wasn't easy to find and I'm certain that the competition was fierce! There are quite a few Flexible working agencies starting up that might be of interest I know of the following:

    Ten2Two
    Flexible working for people like me (Facebook group and linked in)

    Do also search on Linkedin, all the best in your search
