We are proud to have partnered with The Women’s Work Lab (WWL), an incredible organisation that supports unemployed mums back into the workplace. WWL offers women the opportunity to ease back into work after time away with bespoke classroom training, a work placement and 121 support. Read more about The Women’s Work Lab via the link below. Our amazing returner Jincy Rojy has been with us for the past 3 weeks, working with our support team. “I have enjoyed all the training and support provided during this amazing opportunity to work at IRIS. It has really helped with my confidence to learn new skills. I have been provided with excellent IT facilities at home and the training has been very informative and has given me an insight into SENTA. Over the next couple of weeks, I’m hoping to use the information I’ve learned to work alongside a member of the IT team to assist in various support scenarios. The team has been very supportive and available anytime if I needed any help via Teams or Slack as required.” We cannot wait to see what Jincy achieves with us over the next few weeks.
At IRIS, we are passionate at providing great opportunities for everyone. We recognise that there are masses of incredibly talented, hard-working and motivated individuals that are overlooked in many cases due to career breaks on their CV. Maybe a prolonged illness left them unable to work, or they needed time away to focus on raising a family. Whatever the reason, we know it can be extremely daunting returning to work after a career break, and our IRIS Returnship Programme offers the support required to allow these individuals to ease back into work and reach their potential. Our Returnship placements are up to 6 months long and involve regular check-ins with a dedicated Returnship Coach, part time hours to fit around childcare or other commitments, access to our training courses and the opportunity to progress to a permanent or fixed term contract at the end of the work placement period. If you'd like to enquire about the programme, please send an email across to our Recruitment team at recruitment@iris.co.uk.
On Thursday last week, we heard from our CEO, Elona Mortimer-Zhika, alongside our Chief Operating Officer, David Lockie and our Chief Financial Officer, Michael Cox, during the IRIS FY23 kick off call.

Our mission for FY23 is measure, succeed and amaze – and we can’t wait to see what everyone at IRIS will achieve this year!
