Can I share calendars on a work and personal device, with different iCloud user names?

I'm relatively new to my work iPhone, and very new to my iPad. I've been entering events in the iCloud calendar, which is linked to the iPad under a personal Apple id and password.

My work iPhone, which (currently) has a different Apple id and password, set up when work provided it, syncs with Outlook on my work laptop using an App called Mobile Iron. I have very little control or knowledge of this, although it works just fine.

It woiuld be useful to have any events I set up dumped into the same calendar, viewable both on my personal iPad and my work iPhone, but I dare not do anything to interfere with what my company IT has set up. Any recommednded strategies?

iPod classic, Windows XP

You can try sharing your iCloud calendar with yourself as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694. If you work phone has an iCloud account, you can privately share your calendar with it, giving your read and write access. If it doesn't, you can publically share it, giving you read-only access. This should give you the ability to view the shared calendar alongside your work calendar without merging the two.
