Built by Women
Who Came Back
Girl, Get Back to Work was born from a real frustration: there was no honest, practical guide for women returning to work after maternity leave or a career break. So we built one — and helped over 3,200 women restart their careers.
The Career Break
Penalty Is Real.
We’re Changing It.
Women returning to work after maternity leave face a compounding set of barriers: skills anxiety, imposter syndrome, resume gaps, and a job market that can penalise absence over competence. It’s unfair. And with the right support, it’s entirely fixable.
Our platform closes that gap — with free returnship guides, return-to-work resume templates, interview prep tools, and a community of career relaunchers who understand exactly what you’re navigating right now.
“Our mission is to make returning to work after a career break feel less like starting over — and more like coming home.”
The Values Behind Our
Career Restart Mission
Empathy Before Advice
We meet you where you are. No judgment about how long you’ve been away, why you left, or what your career break looked like.
Practical Over Inspirational
Actionable return-to-work plans, not vague pep talks. Every guide we publish moves your job search one step forward.
Returners Over Competition
Women lifting women. We share what works, celebrate every interview, and treat every career comeback as a win worth cheering.
Confidence Is a Learned Skill
Imposter syndrome after maternity leave is real and normal. We have evidence-based strategies to rebuild it, step by step.
Our Vision for
Women Returning to Work
A world where career breaks are recognised as what they are: evidence of resilience, leadership, and prioritisation — not absence of commitment. Where every woman returning to work after maternity leave has the returnship resources, community, and confidence to land the role she deserves.
