Congratulations.  When our warden has maternity leave we employed her husband to do the opening and closing, cleaning etc (I think the treasurer did the invoicing for the hirers). That was she didn’t have to move nor lose her right to accommodation. 
Suggest you talk to your line manager and premises committee. - unless you don’t think your current accommodation is unsuitable for the larger family.
In friendship

Hi Anna

Congratulations, what exciting news!!!

I would have thought that a place to stay for a temporary cover period would be more appealing that relocating for a year and having to find somewhere to stay for just that amount of time.

But that might just be me.

Such happy news!

Dear Friends,

I'm looking for some advice about maternity cover, please!

I have been the resident warden at Winchester Quaker Meeting House since October 2023, but with a baby due in January 2026, the flat will need a new occupant (or two).

We have options when it comes to finding someone to live here, but I'm curious... if you were – or indeed are – open to 1-year fixed-term wardenship opportunities, would a residency as part of a contract make it more appealing, or less so?

Many thanks,
Anna
