The Timewise Foundation, a social business that helps people to find the flexibility they need in their careers, has launched its 2013 search to find 50 of the UK’s most senior level part time workers, with the support of EY.

Founder Karen Mattison, MBE says “Thousands of people in the UK want work with flexible or part time hours, to fit with their lives.  They need to know that there are brilliant businesses out there, where flexibility is no inhibitor to success.  As such, we are calling upon those pioneering companies that have already enabled key talent to progress their careers on a flexible basis, to open up and tell us about it, by nominating their most senior part time workers for the 2013 Power Part Time list.”

Karen will sit on a judging panel that includes Steve Varley, UK managing partner of EY, Katie Bickerstaffe, the CEO of Dixons Retail plc, Andy Saunders, the Deputy Manager of Management Today magazine and Lynn Rattigan, the UK Deputy Chief Operating Officer of EY.

Nominations are entirely free to make, require just a few hundred words and can be made anonymously.  Timewise also welcomes individuals who want to nominate themselves. Please call Jo on 0207 633 4553 for more information or enter below:
