National Australia Bank is forging new ground, with part-time roles that put workplace flexibility front and centre – formally structured around school hours.

NAB’s Wealth Finance team has opened up five part-time finance opportunities with an innovative difference: the roles will allow work to be undertaken within school hours and have school holidays off.

These jobs already have flexibility built into them, removing the need to negotiate flexible working arrangements.

Jane Seebach, Head of Management Services, NAB Wealth Finance, said that employers have a key role to play in promoting flexible working conditions that help improve workplace productivity and employee satisfaction.

“More often than not, it’s hard to find roles that balance our busy work and home lives – juggling the school drop-off and pick-up, household tasks, and managing school holidays as well as work priorities,” Ms Seebach said.

“As we open applications for the first of these part-time roles today, it is our hope we can attract both men and women to apply, and show that having a fulfilling career and life aren’t mutually exclusive.

“These new roles send a clear signal that NAB believes our people can continue to deliver excellent work and apply for challenging positions while accessing flexible work arrangements at the same time.”

NAB intends to offer these flexible part-time roles in the Wealth Finance team. We will work closely with successful applicants from this first round of job opportunities to ensure working arrangements reflect the flexibility they require.

Position descriptions for the roles in Performance Management, Transformation and Investment & Finance Control Capability are available at the NAB Careers website.
