Hi, I'm Jen!
Mum, HR professional and the person behind Moor for Mums.
I'm here to help mums feel more confident, informed and supported when navigating the world of work and motherhood.
I've spent my 20 year career working in HR, supporting businesses and their people through all sorts of workplace challenges. I've seen first-hand how decisions are made behind the scenes, how HR departments work and how overwhelming it can feel when you're the person on the other side of those decisions.
And as a mum myself, I understand that having children can change everything about how you feel towards work.
Why I started Moor for Mums
Becoming a mum brings a whole new set of challenges, and navigating your career alongside motherhood can sometimes feel like an impossible juggling act.
I kept seeing mums worrying about returning to work, feeling nervous about asking for flexibility or struggling with situations at work without really knowing their rights or who to turn to.
And I thought, surely there should be somewhere mums can go for straightforward, affordable HR advice from someone who understands both sides?
That's where Moor for Mums was born.
I wanted to create a space where mums could ask the questions they might feel uncomfortable asking at work, talk through their worries and get practical advice without feeling judged or overwhelmed by employment law jargon.
How I can help
Whether you're preparing to return from maternity leave, trying to negotiate flexible working, dealing with a tricky situation at work or wondering what you want from your career now you're a mum, I'm here to help.
I still work within HR so I can help you understand your rights, see things from your employer's perspective and work out the best way forward.
Sometimes that means helping you draft an email or prepare for a difficult conversation. Other times, it's simply having someone listen, reassure you and help you make sense of your options.
I also run Back to Work Coffee Mornings, bringing mums together to share experiences, ask questions and build confidence before returning to work.
A little more about me
I live in the Peak District (which is where the ‘Moor’ comes from) with my 2 children, dog and partner…listed in priority order!
When I’m not working I spend as much time as possible outside in the Peak District, hiking, running or climbing.
Let's have a chat
If something at work is keeping you awake at night, you're unsure about your rights or you just need a little help figuring out your next move, I'd love to hear from you.
You don't need to know exactly what you're asking for. We can work that out together.
Moor support. Moor confidence. Moor for mums.
