“As a new mother, I really value the flexibility that the AAT has given me.  I’d worked for the AAT for years before I fell pregnant with my son and after returning from maternity leave, I applied to work more flexibly.  I now work from home on a Monday and leave early on another day, when necessary – but still meet my contractual hours.

Being able to work from home and flexibly is a huge benefit. It helps me to combine both my work and family life, fitting in and around my planned childcare arrangements. A great advantage is that it also helps to ease the travel time in which I spend commuting to and from work at least one day a week, meaning that I can spend that 2 ½ hours with my son.”
