Jobs for Mums breaks barriers that inhibit parents and caregivers from finding family-friendly employment.

NZ Compare prides itself on fostering a workplace that values diversity. We employ hard working, talented mums and dads who help our business thrive. Being and becoming a parent is one often the most challenging endeavours anyone can take, especially with the rising costs of living and the limited flexibility that such a lifestyle tends to have. That's why we're proud to shine a light on and partner with Jobs for Mums.

In today's world, finding flexible and family-friendly employment can be a daunting task, especially for parents and caregivers. As Christmas approaches and the cost of living continues to rise, many New Zealand families find themselves feeling the pinch, making it essential for both parents to work, without having to sacrifice that quality time with our little ones. Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of "Jobs for Mums" – a transformative social enterprise that is changing the employment landscape across Aotearoa, making the holiday season and everyday life a little less stressful for families.
