Face to face

Article Abstract:

UK nurses Sarah Andrews and Claire Johnston have shared the role of director of nursing at the Camden and Islington trust since 1994. They share control of the 40 million pound sterling budget. The job originally belonged to Claire Johnston, who wanted someone help lighten her work load when she was pregnant. Johnston believes job-sharing is a way forward and is keen to encourage others to try it as a way of working. Sarah Andrews sees job-sharing as providing back up and support for each other and ensuring the maximum input into deciding budget expenditure.
