Return-to-work and career coaching for working mums
Retain talented women and build your reputation as an A-star employer for working mums
The support you give employees when they return from maternity leave, and in the months and years that follow, says a lot about the kind of employer you are. It shows whether women can see a future with your organisation and whether they’ll have the support to keep progressing.
Through Mum & More, I partner with HR and L&D teams to provide practical coaching for women returning from maternity leave and for working mums already back in their roles. I also equip line managers to have better conversations about returning to work, workload, managing expectations and career development.
Support at the moments that matter
Returning from maternity leave
Give employees space to prepare for their return, rebuild confidence and agree priorities with their manager. Coaching can form part of a structured return-to-work programme, with sessions offered during Keeping in Touch (KIT) days where appropriate.
Developing a career after returning
Help working mums recognise the value they bring, communicate their contribution and take their next career step. We work on practical challenges like setting boundaries, speaking up about ambitions and doing good work without feeling they have to be constantly available.
Equipping line managers
Help managers plan a supportive return, set clear expectations and keep career development on the agenda. They’ll have practical ways to start these conversations and follow through in the months after someone returns.

Why work with Mum & More?
I’m Victoria Lambley, a certified career and leadership coach with over 22 years’ experience across corporate HR, leadership and Learning & Development.
I’ve worked inside organisations, so I understand how policies, team pressures and day-to-day management shape an employee’s experience.
As an independent coach, I give employees space to talk openly about what’s difficult, what they want next and what would help them get there. I work alongside your HR and L&D teams to design support that fits your culture, policies and existing programmes.
Give talented women a reason to stay
Investing in coaching for working mums supports wellbeing, strengthens retention and helps keep experienced women in your leadership pipeline. It also gives substance to your employer brand. When employees can point to the support they received on returning and the opportunities they had to progress afterwards, they have a real story to tell about working for you.
That’s what being an A-star employer for working mums looks like in practice. You give talented women the support and opportunities they need to see a long-term future with your organisation.
