The Power of Part-Time Talent (And Why It Works)
In this week’s episode of the Work It Like a Mum podcast, we're joined by returning guest Amanda Henderson, Founder and Managing Director of Thread HR.
Amanda first joined the podcast as a freelancer, then again as she made her first hire. Now, three years into building Thread HR, she shares what it really takes to scale a successful part-time team, build a strong flexible culture, and lead a business that works for both clients and employees.
This episode is packed with honest insight for anyone considering self-employment, growing a business, or hiring part-time talent.
What We Cover:
- Amanda’s journey from freelancer to founder of Thread HR
- Building and managing a successful part-time team
- How to create culture, clarity and trust in a flexible business
- The benefits of hiring part-time talent and thinking differently about work
- Why some employers still resist flexibility, especially in hospitality
- Growing a business while navigating confidence, leadership and wellbeing
Key Takeaways:

⭐ Strong culture isn’t about hours, it’s built on clarity, trust and values
⭐ Hiring differently can give you a real competitive edge
⭐ Your business can grow faster than your confidence, and that’s normal
