If you could choose your career all over again, would you choose the same one?

The job you wanted at 25 might not be the job you want at 35, 45 or 55.

Life changes, priorities change and sometimes the things that matter most to us in a career change too.

Maybe you’re looking for flexibility, doing something more meaningful, learning something new or having a job that you actually enjoy!

At Successful Mums, we love helping mums discover career possibilities, including jobs that they may not have thought of before.

So, we’re curious… would you choose the same career again or would you try something completely different? 👇

A little reminder for all the mums out there today…

Between the school runs, work, family, appointments, endless to-do lists and making sure everyone else is OK, it can be easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list.

You don’t always have to be the one holding everything together. It’s OK to ask for help, take a little time for yourself or admit that today you feel like you’re struggling.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re sending a little love to all the mums doing their best, often while juggling more than anyone sees.

Don’t forget to look after you, too 🫶

There was a time when finding a job might have simply meant finding a job you wanted.

Then came children and suddenly there’s the school run, childcare, school holidays, appointments, assemblies you really don’t want to miss and a whole lot more to think about.

But that doesn’t mean your career has to take a back seat. It might just need to look a little different. A term-time role, three days instead of five, hybrid working, a completely new career or a job you didn’t even know existed.

It’s National Work Life Week and we want to celebrate the fact that there isn’t just one way to have a successful career.

For more than 12 years we’ve helped mums rebuild their confidence, gain qualifications, explore new career paths and find opportunities that fit better around family life.

So if you’ve been thinking you would love to get back to work but don’t now how would you could make it work - it may not mean going back to what you did before - it could be finding what works for you now.

When you think of working in education, what jobs spring to mind? Teacher? Teaching Assistant? 👀

There are hundreds of roles in schools, colleges and other education settings, including flexible and term-time opportunities that you may never have thought to search for.

Events co-ordinator, attendance administrator, community engagement officer, finance assistant, digital learning, SEND, behaviour support, receptionists and much more.

On Tuesday 10 November, we’re joined by Max, from Harris Federation, for a FREE online webinar exploring some of these less obvious roles and how you could start a new career in education.

Max knows first-hand what Successful Mums can bring to schools. Through our partnership with Harris, experience days have already led directly to several Successful Mums learners gaining employment.

Max says:
“The quality, professionalism and enthusiasm of every candidate we have met through Successful Mums has been consistently outstanding.”

Join Max as we discover:
• Hidden roles in education you may not know exist
• Flexible and term-time opportunities that could work around family life
• How the skills you already have as a mum could transfer into education
• What schools are looking for when recruiting
• How to take those first steps into the sector, even if you’ve never worked in education before.

On Tuesday 10 November at 10am–11.30am - Online and FREE!

Your next flexible job could be in education - you just might not know what to search for yet.

We’re starting the week on a bit of a high! 👏

After an incredible weekend watching Jane take to the TEDxBromley stage, we’ll be celebrating a very special moment for Jane and Successful Mums.. and then it’s straight into another busy week!

We’re welcoming Harris Federation and NEST online to meet our mums, sharing real insight into their organisations, career opportunities and the different roles our learners could explore.

Dee will also be hosting the final session of our first Wellbeing course of the new term, giving us another lovely reason to celebrate our learners and everything they’ve achieved 🙌

Behind the scenes, our Marketing Team is busy planning upcoming events and new ways to reach even more mums across London, Kent and Essex. Keep an eye out for some exciting events coming soon!

From a TEDx stage to our online classroom, another week of sharing ideas, building confidence and creating some amazing opportunities for mums 🫶 Happy Monday!

From supporting mums back to work… to the TEDx Bromley stage.

This Saturday, our founder Jane Knight will be taking to the stage at TEDx Bromley and it feels like a rather special moment.

For the past 12 years, Jane and the Successful Mums team have supported more than 12,000 women to recognise what they have to offer after becoming a mum.

Because time away from work doesn’t take away your experience. Working around a family doesn’t make you less ambitious. And starting again, at 30, 40, 50 or beyond - doesn’t mean starting from scratch.

We’ve seen mums return after years away, completely change careers, find jobs they didn’t know existed, start businesses, gain qualifications and perhaps most importantly, start believing in themselves again.

That’s a message Jane has championed since Successful Mums began in 2014 and this weekend, she gets to take her ideas to the TEDx stage.

From one mum with an idea to a community of more than 12,000 women.

We couldn’t be more excited to see where that red dot takes her next.

Good luck Jane! 🎤

Sometimes the experience that shapes your next career doesn’t come from a workplace.

After nearly 20 years at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Jeanette took an eight-year career break to raise her children.

During that time, supporting her son with ASD gave her a growing interest in SEND - and eventually opened the door to a completely new career.

Jeanette came to Successful Mums to regain her confidence, update her skills and develop her knowledge of SEND.

After more than 10 years without an interview, she secured three interviews in just two weeks.. and was offered all three jobs. 🙌

Jeanette chose a full-time, term-time role as a SEND Job Coach at Bromley College.

If, like Jeanette, your own experiences have given you an interest in SEND, perhaps it could lead somewhere for you too.

Our Working in SEND Level 3 course can help you build your knowledge, gain an accredited qualification for your CV and discover the different roles available supporting children and young people with additional needs.

Lots of positive vibes at Successful Mums this week!

We’re welcoming NEST and the Harris Federation as guest speakers on our courses, giving our mums the chance to hear directly about roles and opportunities in education. And great news, interviews are taking place and job offers are coming in! 🙌

We’re also hosting another Find a Job You Love webinar with OAL, helping mums discover family friendly jobs, explore new careers and get their mojo back after a career break. Still time to book.. if you’d like the link drop us a message!

Then it’s a big few days for Jane. She’ll be heading to SheChain Live in Blackpool, connecting with women in business ahead of this year’s Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAs).

She’s also so excited to be taking to the TEDxBromley stage on Saturday! 🎤

After 12 years of Successful Mums, thousands of women supported and so many stories along the way, we’re incredibly proud to see Jane step onto that famous red circle and share her own story and ideas.

It’s going to be quite a week. Keep an eye on our socials we’ll be taking you along with us! 👀 Get in touch if you’d like to find out more 🫶
