Careers Partnership Information

Careers Partnership (UK) provides especially "user-friendly" redundancy counselling and outplacement support services. These services are purpose-built for the employees needing outplacement support and the large, small or medium-size companies paying for it. We specialise in the smaller redundancy counselling / outplacement services programmes (those involving 1-10 employees), working one to one intensively with your staff to help them re-launch their careers. We work across the private, public and charity / not for profit employment sectors providing redundancy counselling and outplacement services for all levels of employees (Directors, middle managers, healthcare and teaching staff, technical, professional and administrative employees, etc). We provide a complete range of redundancy counselling and outplacement support services for your staff - career counselling (including psychometric assessment where it's helpful), career change advice, professional / senior management CV writing, coaching in interview techniques, help in tracking down unadvertised jobs, etc. Our personalised, concentrated outplacement services help staff get back into employment with the minimum delay - many win offers of good jobs before they've completed their redundancy counselling sessions. Most redundancy programmes happen at short notice and involve ongoing uncertainty about the numbers and seniority of employees needing outplacement services. Employers need outplacement support that's good, flexible, affordable and in place before the bad news about job losses leaks out. Accordingly, outplacement support companies help reduce everyone's stress levels when they respond fast to requests for extra information about the redundancy counselling services on offer, adapt their outplacement services to suit particular employer / employee needs and offer realistic advice on the best ways of using the available budget to provide good outplacement support. Careers Partnership (UK) is often able to email detailed quotations for redundancy counselling / outplacement support within 4 hours of receiving employer' initial enquiries for these services. We're usually able to start delivering employees' outplacement services within a couple of days of their companies agreeing the redundancy counselling contract. Our redundancy counselling helpline can be available outside of office hours, speeding the exchange of confidential information about the redundancy programme and individuals' requirements for outplacement support. Many of our corporate clients are small companies (we also work with private individuals who fund their own outplacement services) and we're used to working with tight budgets to provide high value redundancy counselling / outplacement services for employees. Our simple fee structure enables employers to quickly and easily weigh up the financial implications of different outplacement support options. All our outplacement services are "bespoke" because each employee facing redundancy has different needs, circumstances and skills in job search. This personalised redundancy counselling help saves employees' time and employers' money - we provide all the outplacement services our individual clients need for successful job search and nothing they don't want. Employer benefits from this personalised, intensive approach to redundancy counselling include the cost savings achieved through correctly targeting outplacement support, lower staff travel expenses and less staff absence during the hectic redundancy notice period. Employee benefits are even greater. Our outplacement services improve the employee's prospects of moving swiftly into new employment by providing all the "tools" that particular individual needs for successful job search (help in setting their career direction, help with networking, the preparation of a really good CV, etc) at the very earliest stage of their job hunt. In the same way that learner drivers pass their driving tests much more quickly when they attend intensive courses rather than having 1-2 sessions each week, it's possible to provide substantially more redundancy counselling advice and outplacement services in one intensive half-day outplacement support session than during shorter sessions spread out over several days / weeks. Our concentrated, personalised redundancy counselling and outplacement services enable employees with the least knowledge about job search - eg. managers who've spent 20 years with the same organisation - to receive all the outplacement support they need in just four half-day sessions. Managers with more recent experience of successful job search may need only one or two outplacement support sessions. Unlimited telephone / email advice is provided as non-chargeable elements of our intensive redundancy counselling /outplacement support programmes. Employees value being able to use our redundancy counselling helpline services out of hours for any urgent advice and support they need (clients often receive information about and offers of interviews at the very last minute!).
