Transforming the Way We Work

Yorkshire Business Woman of Achievement Vivienne Duke heads a new web-based national recruitment service launched today. Jobs offering job share, part time work, flexible working arrangements or interim management roles are featured on the site, www.jobshare-uk.com. The service is free to job seekers and, for a limited period, to employers

www.jobshare-uk.com is an innovative online resource, which is initially funded by the Governmentís ëQuality Part Time Work Fundí designed to open up more quality part-time jobs and help employers find ways of making flexible working possible.

Leeds-based recruitment agency Equals One, formed by Vivienne seven years ago, is running the new resource in partnership with the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology (UKRC), based in Bradford, Yorkshire Forward and the work-life balance charity Working Families

www.jobshare-uk.com allows candidates to register on line, search for quality vacancies as well as potential job share partners. The site also allows employers to post higher-level flexible positions including full time, part time, job share and interim roles. There is also an on line guide available to employers entitled ëEssential Guide to Job Sharingí which provides everything an employer needs to know about implementing flexible working practices.

Vivienne Duke, Director of Jobshare UK and winner of the Yorkshire Women of Achievement Business award 2007, is delighted to be delivering this service. ìI have been lucky enough to job share at a Senior level and have experienced, first hand , the many benefits that flexible working brings to both the employer and employee. This is an exciting opportunity to expand our services to a national level and make a real impact on the flexible working opportunities available around the UK.î
