I would be interested in part time asap but if not possible for the first few years this may be an important factor.
Much appreciated

Parental leave can be applied for up to 365 days in advance. You get 18 weeks per child and can use a maximum of 4 weeks per child (I think) per year. It is UNPAID but I like the flexibility of it and the fact that it puts off the decision of whether to commit to part time permanently. In the tax brackets we find ourselves I think it’s an effective way to guarantee time off, for relatively little financial pain.
