Having a baby is life altering; it impacts every part of your life, including your work. Thankfully, flexible working for parents is slowly becoming more commonplace thanks, in part, to the pandemic and to people like Anna Whitehouse and charities such as Pregnant then Screwed who have tirelessly campaigned for fairer working conditions for parents.
But what if you feel like your previous job doesn’t work with your new life as a parent? What if you can’t work as flexibly as you’d like to? What then?
It is possible to end up feeling a bit lost. Taking a new career path when you have little people to look after can feel like a daunting or even impossible prospect.
Owning a Daisy First Aid franchise gives you the flexibility of owning your own business and setting your own hours with the benefit of a nationally recognised, multi award-winning brand, head office website and marketing, a tried and tested business model, on-going head office training and support and the perfect work-life balance.
What if we told you that you can run your own business whilst only working the hours you want to, with no pressure to do more, be part of a team but run things the way you want to?
It almost sounds too good to be true doesn’t it! So don’t take our word for it. Here are just a few of our wonderful team talking in their own words about why they love being a Daisy First Aid franchisee:
