Help With Redundancy
For many people redundancy is highly traumatic and rates with bereavement, divorce and moving house as one of the most stressful situations in life.
To put you at ease, it is important to know that all our career coaches and consultants have been in the same situation at some point in our careers and we can fully empathise. However, we are all living proof that redundancy can often become a surprising opportunity for many people and be the springboard to a new lease of life!
We have an excellent record of successfully supporting people of all levels through the trauma of redundancy. Helping them to move their careers forward, by taking on new challenges, whether employed or self employed.
There are five main effects of redundancy, especially if unexpected:
- Shock/ anger – why me?
- Fear of the unknown – can I survive financially?
- Loss of Confidence/self esteem – do I have any value?
- Loss of control – you feel this has been taken away from you
- Loss of structure – to your daily life
How can we help?
Our role is to support you through the process; firstly get you back on track to overcome any frustration, fears, anxiety and negativity and turn this into positive energy to help move you forward.
We can help you:
- Put structure back into your life
- Review your financial considerations
- Understand how to go about ‘signing on’ and claiming benefits
- Write a new CV
- With your job search approach and job applications
- Win at interviews

Depending on your situatiation, you may need some initial Redundancy Counselling before you can even start to move forward. SMP has helped many people in this way and we provide a confidential service to support you at this difficult period in your life.
If this sounds helpful then we would like to hear from you. Please email or call us for a confidential initial discussion and we will tailor a session to meet your needs or as a key part of a 'Breakthrough Career Development Programme'.
Another option, depending on your situation, would be attending one of our Move Your Career 'One Step Beyond' Full Day Career Workshops, as this an ideal way to help your career transition.
Either way we would look forward to helping you through your transition.
