What is job sharing?

A full-time role, jointly owned.

Two professionals split the working week and share responsibility for one role. Together they provide continuity across the week, combining experience, energy and different strengths.

It can make ambitious careers work alongside caring, health, study or simply a different rhythm of life—without asking either person to step away from senior work.
