If job-sharing mums can lead GCHQ why isn't this way of working more common?
Vicky and Emily have more than three decades of experience between them in intelligence gathering
The pair first met around a decade ago and bonded while posted to the US for some of their career. They made a decision to apply for the current job together as a promotion in May 2020, or not at all, just as the pandemic was taking hold. They use Mondays to plan the week ahead in the office, and meeting up lets them keep across threats, discuss any issues that develop over the weekend, and take stock of counter terrorism strategy with people in Whitehall.
But now, demand from workers for greater flexibility is high. Home working has increased from one in 20 workers pre-pandemic, to one in five today, and there have been a flurry of high profile co-chief executive appointments, in part in response to pandemic burnout. And they are often "pushing at an open door" according to Stephen Evans, chief executive at Learning and Work Institute. "Recruiters should proactively signal they are open to flexible working, and jobseekers shouldn't be afraid to ask," he says.Zak Mensah and Sara Wajid share running one of the largest independent museum trusts in the country.This isn't just about about working mothers either.
Like Vicky and Emily, they too decided to apply for this high-pressure role as a team. Neither would have taken it on solo.
