Over 50, facing redundancy or unemployed? Struggling to find your next role? Discover a practical, proven approach to getting back to work.

Does this sound like you?

• You’re a woman aged 50+
• You feel pessimistic about your future employment prospects
• You feel uncertain about your next steps
• You’re concerned about employers’ perceptions of older workers

BUT…

• You are looking to re-enter the workplace after a career break
• You have a lot of workplace experience and skills but you’re getting an unusually low response rate to job applications

According to research conducted in August 2020 by Ageing Better and the Learning & Work Institute, “quarter of a million over 50s will never work again post furlough.” Well, I’m on a mission to change that.

My Back to Work 50+ Programme provides the training, coaching and job seeking tools you need to compete with confidence for today’s in-demand jobs.

This is a two-step programme, starting with a small group workshop where we will cover:

• The future for women in work brought about by Covid-19
• Understanding who you are, your values and your definition of success
• How to identify and play to your core skills and strengths
• Explore potential hurdles you may face and how to overcome them
• Establish the ultimate career ingredients for you
• Next steps – pulling it all together to create your job search strategy

Included in the cost of the programme is a personal 30 minute 1:1 follow-up coaching session, giving us time to discuss and explore any questions or concerns you may have but aren’t quite ready to share with the group.
