So my son is 5 and I’ve been a sahm. Last year I completed a medical billing and coding course (I’m amca certified) that was free but was told I couldn’t be helped in being placed in a job. I have no prior experience in a medical setting but I’m soo willing to learn and get out there. I’ve applied on indeed (and com...

It says about needing to have paid class 2 NI to qua...

Does anyone know how I can work out my NHS maternity pay with SMP on top? Yearly I make £39,850 so I don’t actually know how to work it out 😬 really stressing me out!

I’m in total shock, feeling unappreciated and don’t know what to do. I’ve been challenging the maternity pay where I work as it’s statutory maternity pay….i work for a very well known football club.

Hey work from home Mamas, how do you make it work with your kids? I have an 8 month old and am potentially starting as a Financial Consultant, working remotely from home. I'm scared I won't be able to concentrate on work and won't be able to take care of my baby at the same time.

Hi all. My work have been really shitty with me prior to mat leave. I’m not eligible for any pay so have nothing I owe them if I don’t go back. Does anyone know of any work from home jobs?
