Working Parents Community Group at SSE

SSE has a Working Parents Community group with a growing member base across the company,

Hear from Hannah who leads the group:

"My name is Hannah Cutajar, I work in the Resourcing Team as a Resourcing Consultant supporting recruitment across our Corporate Functions.

Leading the Working Parents Community has been a great opportunity for me after returning from my maternity leave in January 2020. Having a dedicated space to bring people together to share ideas, information and anecdotes has built a strong feeling of community and from a personal perspective really helped bring together the ‘professional me’ and ‘parent me’.

Our community currently has 170 members and I hope to see this continue to grow. The group has had particularly high engagement through the various lockdowns with parents sharing experiences and advice for managing home schooling/juggling childcare commitments while working from home as well as how we can support our children’s mental health.  

Earlier this year we had a call arranged via our colleagues in our Customer Business with one of our HR Managers and an external speaker to discuss the benefits/options available to support SSE employees with caring responsibilities through lockdown and hints and tips on understanding the curriculum for home schooling. This was really successful, and a great example of our community being supported by the Business."
