The professional support and service that Miranda/GPS Return provides was exactly what I needed to help me kick start my job search after a long career break to raise my children. Miranda is extremely positive and supportive as well as professional in her approach. In our initial session she came up with many suggestions and thoughts that had never occurred to me as well as busting a few myths I had been holding on to and helping me with my confidence in taking a big step. She also gave me lots of simple practical tasks to undertake to set me up with the best chance of finding the right career for me. Since our first meeting she has contacted me regularly to support my progress and brainstorm further ideas.

I attended the ‘Return to Work’ training course, having been out of work for the last 4 years, with previously being made redundant and then looking after my young children. I was ready to start looking at going back to work but felt it was all a bit overwhelming. Having been ‘out of the game’ for a while, I found it very useful to refresh myself with thinking about how to job search and focussing on what is important to me. It was then great to be updated with current recruitment processes, how to write your CV, discuss what recruiters are looking for and talk about interview skills. I was finding it a bit hard to get motivated in knowing where to begin, but Miranda was great in breaking the process down in an approachable way. Not only did I refresh myself with the whole job searching process, but I learnt some new ideas and tips which I could take forward when job hunting and applying, as well as coming away with more confidence. I am pleased to say that I have now secured a new job role. Thank you, Miranda, for your support and guidance. I would recommend getting in touch with Miranda for any support you may need, in returning to work. Jennifer
GPS Return recently assisted securing me a fantastic role with a local healthcare charity. Returning from 2 years as a full-time mum, and looking for a part-time, flexible role at a senior level, I spent months trawling through emails, talking to recruiters and local businesses before being introduced to GPS Return. Simon provided a personalised and tailored service from the first meeting, including an in-depth introductory interview, feedback and coaching on the development of my CV, and local and relevant insights into the job markets and potential opportunities. Quite different from the traditional recruitment model, GPS Return actively sought out opportunities through their networks and contacts, rather than waiting for a job to match me too. They were persistent and relentless in ensuring I was introduced to potential employers who would be a good match for my skills and career objectives, keeping me updated every step of the way. Simon coached and supported me through the interview process, assisted me in negotiating my employment arrangements, and have continued to keep in contact months later. GPS Return are influential in the local community, actively engaging with local industry and the business community to encourage employers to consider the advantages of part-time and flexible working. GPS Return helped me find a job that I am truly passionate about, that supports my career goals, and provides a unique balance between work and family.
