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.

What happens when you see job sharing modelled at every level around you, early in your career — and years later, find yourself doing exactly that in a senior role?

In this episode of Jobshare Stories, we speak with Linsey Craike and Megan Bradish, Deputy Directors in the Department of Health and Social Care. Megan is Linsey's second job share partner, making this a particularly rich conversation about transitions, matching, and what it really takes to make a job share partnership thrive.

In this episode, we discuss - Why role models matter - The importance of mentors in making the right match - What it's like starting a job share when one of you has done it before and one of you hasn't - How job sharing enables you to do the big, challenging, fulfilling roles — without sacrificing the rest of your life

Their story is a brilliant reminder that job sharing isn't a compromise — it's a superpower.
