Our Story
In July 2022, while on maternity leave with her two babies at home, she founded Jobs for Mums as a community project driven by the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in both their personal and professional lives.
Jobs For Mums asks the question, what would happen if we made true flexibility available to everyone? Instead of focusing on offering flexibility as a tick-the-box option, we start thinking about what is it that we need to live happier and more productive lives.

With a mission to break down barriers and unlock the untapped potential of parents and caregivers, Jobs for Mums is transforming lives, fostering diversity, and creating opportunities for thousands of families in New Zealand.
