Supporting Those Leaving

It’s not you that was made redundant — it’s your role.

This distinction is vital, and it sits at the heart of our Outplacement Programme. We support individuals like you, through one of life’s most challenging transitions with empathy, clarity, and practical tools to move forward with confidence.

Our goal is to help you explore the job market, support you with guidance on creating a compelling CV, able to enter the job market with clarity, and a renewed sense of direction.

How the Programme works

Recognising that not all companies "do the right thing" we also offer the Outplacement Programme to individuals who need to self-fund.

  • The total programme has been independently valued at between £1,500 and £2,000, something not always in the reach of an individual. We therefore offer the programme on a Pay As You Go basis.
  • Selecting those elements you particularly want you are able to access aspects of the programme.
  • We can talk to you about your needs and budget and tailor the programme for your needs.
  • Add different features and services when you need them.

    and the Services Offered

    • At the basic level, we recommend the modules to optimise your CV and LinkedIn profile.
    • We will work with you to identify other areas which you feel particularly benefit you: Help you navigate the routes to the job market including Job Boards, Agencies, LinkedIn and Social Media.
    • Gain an appreciation for Competency Based Interviews, or Behavioural Interviewing
    • Provide you with an introduction to Psychometric Profiling Tools
    • Navigate the Application process and appreciate how an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) works
    • Understand what motivates Agency Recruiters and In-House Talent Acquisition teams and leverage their support and co-operation.

    01

    Setting Goals

    Setting yourself goals during a redundancy situation is crucial for you as the individuals impacted. Focus on achieving key milestones promptly, such as creating a compelling CV, or CV's, practicing and perfecting your interview skills, setting up your diary of activity for the week to ensure focus in your job search.

    02

    Planning & Strategy

    Developing a comprehensive plan and strategy helps to navigate the redundancy process and job market smoothly. This includes identifying resources and tools. A well-thought-out strategy ensures that you are prepared for entering the job market and can move forward with confidence.

    03

    Implementation

    Putting the plan into action is a critical phase. This involves executing the strategies laid out, such as creating a compelling CV, or CV's, creating or updating your LinkedIn profile and other Social Media tools, spending time on your job search to effect a successful conclusion

    04

    Acceptance & Moving on

    Being made redundant, or rather having your role made redundant, is a traumatic experience. Our Outplacement Service includes spending time with you in reaching acceptance of what has happened and helping you to move on. This is a vital stage and might include our consultants providing some emotional support, giving you the tools for coping with change, and fostering a positive outlook.

    05

    Embracing Change

    Embracing change is about looking forward and adapting to new circumstances. This involves encouraging a growth mindset, exploring new career paths, and leveraging new skills. Embracing change helps individuals to see redundancy as an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
