Use your current skills and previous professional experience to restart your career

Supporting your return to work
We know returning to work after an extended career break can be a daunting experience. You may be wondering how relevant your skills and experience are after a break and whether work can fit in with your life and family commitments.
At Allens, we believe in seeing the potential in people and supporting them to grow – particularly those re-entering the workforce after a career break. We provide lifelong learning that develops you personally and professionally and gives you access to people and Partners who can help you become the best you can be. Many of our existing Partners and Senior Associates have progressed their careers with us even as they’ve returned from parental leave.
We offer a range of flexible work options as well as both full-time and part-time roles. We work in a hybrid way where working from home, and in the office, is part of our norm and where flexibility meets your needs. We understand the demands of family and personal life and we want work to work for you.
We’re keen to hear from individuals who’ve been on a career break of 12 months or much longer who are interested in returning to work but looking for the right support to get started.
