Could you job share a senior role with someone you'd never actually worked with before? That's exactly what Felicity and Corrie did, and seven years on, they're one of the most intentional, honest partnerships we've come across.

In this episode of Jobshare Stories, they tell us how they went from knowing of each other (both came up through high-pressure careers, including counter-terrorism at the Home Office) to matching as prospective partners through a civil service job share tool, and applying for a role together at the Department for Education without a single day of shared experience behind them. Our fascinating conversation spans how to build a relationship from scratch right through to keeping it going for the long term.

What does the research actually say about job sharing — and what does it tell us about the future of the workforce?

In this episode of Jobshare Stories, we're joined by Dr Dawn H Nicholson, business psychologist and honorary academic, whose career spans Morgan Stanley, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the University of Kent. Dawn is one of the few academics in the UK to have conducted detailed research lens onto job sharing — and her findings are fascinating.

In this episode, we talk about what older and younger workers really want from work and how jobsharing can create a solution that delivers for both; the power of the successor share model and what needs to change to make jobsharing a reality.

A thought-provoking, research-backed conversation about why job sharing isn't just good for individuals — it's good for organisations, good for the economy, and good for society.

What does it look like when jobsharing becomes a genuine career strategy — not just a flexible working arrangement?

In this episode of Jobshare Stories, we speak with Verity Prime and Laura Lucking, Executive Directors at the National Audit Office — the UK's public spending watchdog. Over six years and five organisations, they've jobshared their way from the Department for Education through COVID frontline response, the Department of Health, the National Lottery Community Fund, and now one of the most scrutinised offices in UK government.

We talk about: 🔹 How they found each other through a chance connection — and why trust was there from day one 🔹 Starting a jobshare in the week before the first COVID lockdown — and what happened next 🔹 Why jobsharing was the reason they could take on one of the hardest jobs of the pandemic 🔹 How to successfully job hunt and transition as a jobshare pair 🔹 The "landing well" routine they've developed every time they join a new organisation 🔹 Tips for line managers who haven't managed a jobshare before 🔹 Why jobsharing requires you to leave your ego at the door — and why that makes you a better leader

Their story is a masterclass in what's possible when two people are genuinely committed to a career share — and the results speak for themselves.
