Our Story
Back in 2017, our founder started a career advice website called Mothers & Careers, focusing on offering career advice to busy London mums. Following on from the success of the blog, a job board was launched where the focus was on flexible, part time and hybrid work.
Mothers & Careers was re-branded Parents & Careers (www.parentsandcareers.com) in 2021, to include busy dads and to provide a full recruitment service. In the aftermath of covid, flexible working have been embraced by most companies. We still help parents find flexible/hybrid or part time jobs, and our jobsite Parents & Careers continue to give career advice and interview tips. Our Richmond-based Life & Careers recruitment arm was launched in 2024 to provide recruitment services to local businesses in SW London, Richmond-Upon-Thames and Surrey.
