What is job-sharing?
A full-time role for one person is replaced by two complementary part-time roles carried out by two people. The two job-sharers overlap for half a day a week to handover to their partner.
The job-shares are created by dividing the medium to long-term objectives of the full-time role between the two roles.
- Job-sharing is suited to proactive roles in industry in the following functions:
- Sales
- Marketing
- Finance
- Operations
- HR
- Legal
- And more…
- We can create job-shares in professional roles in these functions
- The role needs to have medium to long-term objectives to be appropriate for a job-share
What kind of person will be an effective job-sharer?
- You need to be a team player at heart
- You and your job-share partner need to take joint responsibility for your role and to support one another
- You need to have good written and verbal communication skills, be organised and be reliable
- You have to be a little giving to accommodate the working style of your job-share partner
- It helps enormously to know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses and what really motivates you and makes you perform at your best and worst. If you can express this to us, it will make it much easier to find you a fantastic job-share partner and role.
- At Eat Your Cake we will help you find out if job-sharing is for you
