Hi guys
Need some advice.

I am currently on my third month of maternity leave and i will be taking 1 year off.

My PPL started last week and will end in feb.

My old job i work 5 days a week travelling 3 hrs a day so hrs away from home is at least 13hrs a day.
It is very very rare that in my field there will be work close to home.

Anyway there is rare opportunity that there is an openin at my dh's work for my role. He works 15mins from home.

They will probably need someone within the month so question

Would you shorten your mat leave to go for the job?

This would mean i get to spend more time with the kids in the long run and able to pick up dd1 from school but would mean i wont spend much time with them now as anticipated

My mum will be looking after dd2

Also am i able to get another job while on ppl even if i am willing to sacrifice that payment?

Do i have to pay back any payments received prior to getting a new job?

Wwyd?

Thanks in advance.
