Career Breaks, Maternity and Paternity Leave

You may be eligible for a discounted membership plan.

To support our members throughout every stage of their lives and careers, we’ve updated our membership options.  Our membership offer entitled ‘career break’, which includes maternity leave, ensures that the RCN is there for you throughout your leave.

For a reduced fee of just £10 a year you can stay in membership and continue to access RCN legal cover, support and representation, as well as all of our other services and our member discounts. To receive support and representation you will need to revert to full membership payment.

You are covered! You can rely on the RCN for ongoing workplace protection and advice, giving you piece of mind throughout your leave. 

3 key benefits:

1. Save money – you pay just £10 a year
2. Stay protected – you can continue to access workplace protection *
3. Keep representing – taking a career break will not affect your eligibility to stand for election

 * To receive support and representation you’ll have to go back to paying the full membership fee.
