Parental Leave Returners Programme at Jacobs

At Jacobs, inclusion and diversity are at the core of what we do. Bridge the Gap is our parental transition programme which aims to make Jacobs the employer of choice for working parents, supporting them before, during and after the life-changing milestone of becoming a parent.

Bridge the Gap supports our efforts to create an environment where we can bring our authentic selves to work and achieve our full potential. It forms a key part of our commitment to recognising, harnessing, and nurturing our diverse returning talent, and attracting the very best candidates to Jacobs.

Becoming a parent is a life-changing milestone. Whilst exciting, it can also be an overwhelming time, with complex emotional and practical issues to navigate. Whether expecting or adopting, birth parents or otherwise, primary or non-primary carer; whether building up to going on parental leave, currently on leave, returning to work or having already returned; and whatever the family make-up; Bridge the Gap supports all new parents and their line managers.
