What
does Capability Jane actually do? And why should I become a member?
Capability Jane is an organisation
that provides recruitment services, coaching, training, events
and support for experienced, previously professional women looking
to return to work after a career break; or for people wanting
to transition to a more flexible working arrangement.
We specialise in finding skilled jobs in your local area that
are flexible i.e. part-time, flexible hours, term-time, job-sharing,
remote working, or contract/project work . We have an experienced
team of recruitment specialists who work to find
jobs that utilises your skills and experience and which
accommodate your family commitments.
We work with employers across the South East, large and small, who recognise
the value of professional women returners and flexible working.
We actively network in the business community promoting the quality
and credentials of our members and the benefits of flexible working.
We have also teamed up with leading training and coaching experts
plus local colleges to develop a number of back-to-work
programmes and tools specifically aimed at experienced professional
women returning to work after a career break.
Through networking events, workshops and forums you will have
the opportunity to meet discuss and share information with other
women like you.
Please join our network now or contact
us about the options available to you.

Do
I need to pay to become a member?
Absolutely not. Our
job finding service is free.
In terms of some of your back to
work programmes and event the government does not offer subsidies
for training or coaching for qualified women returners in all
areas of the country (one of our soap box rants!).
So, if you choose to take advantage
of our courses, workshops, coaching or events then there will
be an additional charge. However, we passionately believe that
you should have access to these and so have subsidised the cost
as much as we possibly can ourselves.

What is
a typical Capability Jane member profile?
The majority
of our members in our network are highly capable women with many
years of prior working experience. In most cases they have taken
an extended period of time out from their career to have children
and are now looking to get back into the workplace.
However, there are also members
who have been working full time but who are now looking for a
better work-life balance and so want to a job that is local and
allows them more flexibility.
Most of our Capability Jane members
have at least 7-10+ years of experience working in a business
or professional services environment. Some have held senior positions
and managed teams of people. Others have been specialists in their
field; or have held hands on operational positions - often within
large corporations.
Our members are armed with experience
from a wide variety of disciplines and industry sectors from sales
and marketing, PR, HR, event management and design. Other have
been practicing lawyers, accountants, management consultants,
project managers, executive assistants, to name but a few.
The one thing that unites them
all is that they are all highly capable individuals with a wealth
of business and life skills who are now looking for employment
which enables the right work-life balance, utilises their skills
and provides a respectable income.
If this sounds like you please

I know
I had a great career in a previous life but that was a while ago,
but I really don’t feel very confident now…
We
recognise that making the transition from motherhood back to work
is not always easy. No matter what your previous level of experience,
a significant proportion of returning professional women are held
back by a lack of confidence.
You are not alone. It really is
quite surprising how some of the most talented, confident, previously
high-flying professional women lack the confidence in their renewed
ability in business once they have taken time out to have children.
But that’s just it! It’s
all about confidence not ability.
Often we find that lack of confidence
stems from a fear of the unknown: what has changed since the last
time you worked? How can you balance work and life successfully?
Have you forgotten the skills you once had? How can you apply
the recent skills you have developed to a new job? Can you live
up to an employer’s expectations?
At Capability Jane we are passionate
about supporting you through this. We have developed a number
of back-to-work
programs and tools that will help you gain renewed confidence
and clarity for your next career direction.
What we all know at Capability
Jane is that once you are back in the workplace it doesn’t
take you long to get your old self back, before no time you will
be firing on all cylinders!

I have
been out of the workplace for a number of years, I am not sure
that I still have the business skills I once did, I feel out of
touch...
You may well be surprised by how little things
may have changed, but even if they have we can help update you.
We have teamed up with a number of local colleges in your area
to provide courses
for Capability Jane members which focus on updating specific business
skills such as IT,
presentation skills, etc.
What a lot of our members realise
is that the skills they developed in their earlier career are
not actually lost they have merely been channelled in other directions.
A great number of former-career mothers have been actively using
their skills and developing new ones in a wide variety of voluntary,
charitable or school related activities for example.

My priorities
have changed since I left my career to have children, can I go
back to work and still be a mum at the same time?
Of course
you can! This is what Capability Jane is all about. We are here
to help you find the right balance between doing something for
yourself that utilises your skills while maintaining the right
work-life balance.
You may want to go back on a full
or part-time basis; or just do occasional project work. What your
preference we can help you achieve it. Sign up for one of our
back-to-work
programmes or talk to
us about the options available to you.

What is
a typical profile of the Employers you work with?

one thing in common: they all recognise the value of professional
women returners and the benefits that flexible working practices
can have on company performance and productivity.
