On being made redundant you may want to get straight back into a similar role, alternatively you may want to change career or it can be an ideal opportunity to consider your options before moving forward.
Stirling Careers Consultancy also offers support following settlement agreements (previously known as compromise agreement). Stirling Careers Consultancy works with organisations and individuals to understand their needs and provide bespoke solutions to help you manage the transition process.
Being made redundant can feel very lonely and daunting, particularly if you have not applied for a job for some time. Understanding the contemporary job market and planning the way forward can be challenging but careers and outplacement services can guide you through the process step-by-step. The thought of looking for a new job writing your CV, making applications, preparing for interviews and developing your sales pitch to prospective employers can seem quite daunting.
Being made redundant is an ideal opportunity to take a step back and reassess your options whether it be returning to learning, voluntary work, assessing other career opportunities or setting up in business.
All the research suggests that people who are being made redundant are more likely to make a successful transition to their next destination if they are helped through the process.
Stirling Careers Consultancy outplacement services can provide the practical and emotional support needed for your job search in a competitive and challenging marketplace place.
We have a range of outplacement options to support you in your transition to a new role/ destination:
One to one career guidance interview where clients can confidentially explore their career options with a trained guidance practitioner and be given an agreed action plan to take away. Guidance helps people understand what is out there, both learning and work-now and in the future.
This is a programme for those who know exactly the types of roles they are looking for next. Working on a one-to-one basis with your career consultant, this programme provides lots of practical help, support and guidance needed to secure your new role in a very competitive job market. The main help that people require is having a targeted job search strategy, help with CVs and preparing and succeeding at interviews.

Stirling Careers Consultancy provides a range of job search workshops which can be a cost-effective outplacement solution where numbers of staff are being made redundant from organisations. Stirling Careers Consultancy works closely with your HR team to provide bespoke training solutions.
The group sessions can either be a day or half a day.
The above workshops are supported by one to one career coaching sessions, where clients can confidentially explore their career options with a trained career coach and given an agreed action plan to take away. These sessions will help you understand what is out there, both learning and work-now and in the future. It also helps you to aim high and achieve your potential. These workshops and coaching sessions can be delivered on-site or at an alternative venue.
We will meet with your Human Resource Department or senior member of staff to understand your training requirements. We will then write a proposal outlining a programme of support and costs.
Once the proposal has been agreed we will then agree costs, dates and times and Stirling Careers Consultancy will prepare a service level agreement to be agreed by both parties. Once the service level agreement has been agreed and signed and before we deliver the training we ask all attendees to complete a short pre-seminar questionnaire.
With career coaching sessions we ask all those requiring career coaching to complete a short questionnaire and return it to us along with their CV. This is to ensure that the time spent together is used to its full potential. A career coaching session takes an hour.
If Stirling Careers Consultancy needs to do any follow-up research afterwards it will be emailed through to you afterwards.
We are highly experienced, trained career management specialists with impressive professional track records and can support all of your career management and job search needs.
We are members of the London Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Chartered Institute of Personal Development and keep up to date with changes in the job market through attending networking events, attending employment seminars.
