St Mary’s is committed to supporting all staff achieving a good work life balance in order to continue excelling at work whilst being able to balance their caring responsibilities.
The network is open and welcomes all staff who are parents and those who are balancing work with caring responsibilities for family members. We aim to provide a supportive space and the opportunity to share experiences.
To support staff working flexibly we endeavour to hold events at different times and days of the week, and where possible allow for hybrid sessions, so you can attend remotely.
Membership
