    Single Parent Not Compatible To Business Needs

    I was put in post in post to support some staff in a young male suicide I used all my emotional and physical reserves to support these young colleagues. I have not made a fortune from contracting. Far from it. The hassles and dismay that have derived from it are far from fortuitous. I was...

    Single Parent Not Compatible To Business Needs

    Newly separated in quite difficult circumstances. I have worked full time since qualifying as a nurse 20 years ago. I asked my supervisor if on one day of the week I could start at 9.30 alongside my peers as opposed to my usual 7am start. Not an awful lot to ask.
