🧵Today is #PartTimeWorks day!
I have been quite vocal in talking about my role as a Research Professor in a University being #PartTime because I believe #PartTimeWorks – in all kinds of jobs, at all levels.
I have been working part-time since my son was born in 2012.

4 in 10 early years educators are leaving the sector for good. Pay and progression are known issues. Now it’s time to start looking at working pattern, too.
