Supporting work-life balance

The Returners Programme helps solicitors with family care responsibilities to manage increased demands on their time, to focus on their personal priorities and to identify job market opportunities that align with what they want from working life.

Participants in the Returners Programme will benefit through:

• gaining a good understanding of working while also having family care responsibilities,
• understanding different approaches and solutions for combining work and family life,
• clarifying what is most important and what success will look like for each person,
• learning how to make choices in line with identified personal priorities, and
• learning how to find suited opportunities in the job market.

Programme content

The workshops and other supports provided through the Returners Programme assist solicitors with regulatory responsibilities, upskilling opportunities and other critical return-to-work matters - along with CV drafting and interview preparation support.

Through the Returners Programme, participants will be supported to:

• identify what personal success can look like - with their priorities at the forefront,
• be confident in making decisions that support their personal vision of success, and
• connect with people who have a similar career path and aspirations.

Solicitors who would like to participate in this Returners Programme, commencing on 14 September, should contact the Law Society Career Support service.
