Outplacement coaching for organisations

Bespoke career transition support for staff affected by redundancy, restructuring or organisational change.

I provide outplacement coaching for organisations that want to support employees professionally and practically during periods of change. This may include redundancy, redeployment, restructuring, internal role applications or wider career transition support.

Some organisations need support for a small number of staff. Others need a more structured programme for larger groups. I work flexibly depending on the size, seniority and needs of the people being supported.

For larger outplacement programmes, I work with a small group of trusted career and interview coaching specialists. This gives organisations the capacity to support staff at different levels, often within tight timeframes, while ensuring the coaching remains personal, practical and professionally managed.

Recent clients include: NHS Chelsea and Westminster, Newham Council, The Gambling Commission,  Local Government Assoociation, University of Reading and General Dental Council.

How outplacement can help

Redundancy and restructuring can be unsettling, even for experienced professionals. Staff may need help to rebuild confidence, understand their options and present themselves strongly for the next stage of their career.

Outplacement coaching gives employees practical support with career direction, CVs, LinkedIn profiles, applications and interviews. It also gives organisations a constructive way to support people through change with dignity, clarity and care.

Support can be delivered through one-to-one coaching, group training sessions such as courses or webinars or a combination of both.

Who is this for

Outplacement coaching can support employees at different levels, including:

  • Professionals affected by redundancy or restructuring
  • Managers and senior managers moving into the external job market
  • Staff applying for internal roles as part of a restructure
  • Employees who need to rebuild confidence after organisational change
  • Individuals who have not applied for a role or attended an interview for many years
  • Teams needing practical CV, application or interview training

The support is always tailored to the organisation, the staff group and the outcomes needed.

What coaching can include

Outplacement support can be designed as a complete programme or focused on priority areas.

  • Career direction and confidence
  • Helping staff reflect on their strengths, transferable skills and career options, and move from uncertainty into practical next steps.
  • CV and LinkedIn support
  • Creating clear, targeted CVs and LinkedIn profiles that communicate experience, achievements and value effectively.
  • Applications and personal statements
  • Supporting staff to write stronger cover letters, supporting statements and personal statements that are clearly matched to role requirements.
  • Interview preparation
  • Preparing for competency, behaviour, values-based and strength-based interviews, including selecting examples, structuring answers and practising through mock interviews.
  • Salary, offer and next-step support
  • Helping individuals think through salary expectations, evaluate opportunities and make confident decisions about their next move.
  • One-to-one coaching and group training
  • Support can be delivered through individual coaching, group training sessions or a blended programme, depending on the size and needs of the organisation.

Outplacement coaching for organisations

Outplacement support can be delivered in different formats depending on the needs of your organisation.

One-to-one coaching works well when staff need tailored support with their career direction, CV, applications or interview preparation.

Group training works well when a larger number of staff need practical guidance on topics such as CV writing, LinkedIn, applications or interview skills.

Many organisations choose a blended approach, with group training followed by individual coaching for those who need more personalised support.

A flexible approach for organisations 

Every organisation is different. Some need a light-touch programme for a small number of staff. Others need structured support for a larger group across different roles and levels.

I can help you decide what level of support is appropriate and whether this should be delivered through individual coaching, group training or a combination of both.

The aim is always to give staff practical, high-quality support that helps them move forward with greater confidence.

Private outplacement coaching 

I also work with private clients who have been made redundant or are preparing for a career move after restructuring. If you are looking for individual support, I can help with career direction, CVs, LinkedIn, applications and interview preparation.Con

Elizabeth is truly exceptional. I reached out to her after being told by an interviewer that “interviewing was obviously not my thing”—hardly encouraging feedback, especially at my stage in life. Her training helped me understand my communication style, demystified the interview process, and equipped me with practical tools I could apply immediately. She made herself available at very short notice, even over a weekend, and helped me secure a role that was a significant step up. Worth every penny. I only wish I’d done this sooner—I mourn the opportunities lost by not having had her guidance earlier. Thank you, Elizabeth!

I had just turned fifty years old and was at a very difficult stage in finding a new career. I had not applied for a job, sat an aptitude test or had an interview in almost twenty years. Elizabeth was highly professional and guided me through the obstacles I was likely to face which encouraged me to prepare just that bit harder for each stage of the selection process. Having come 9th out of approximately 1,500 candidates in the aptitude tests, the final hurdle was the interview. I had two sessions with Elizabeth. The first was where she acted as my interviewer and then constructively examined my responses at the end . The second was similar, though now my responses were tailored to her advice from the first session and further refined. The actual interview for the job went so well, I began to suspect it had gone too well as towards the end, the interviewers almost stepped out of character and began making small talk about how I would find the day-to-day pros and cons of working for the organisation, however Elizabeth had cautioned me to remain professional, polite and keep to my brief. In total, fifteen people were successful out of the 1,500 and thanks to Elizabeth, I was one of them. I highly recommend her services and professionalism which are beyond reproach. Above all, if you make the effort and follow her advice, you will be confident before and during the interview which combined with answering the questions competently, will give you a high chance of success. Thank you again, Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to let you know that my interview took place yesterday and today I was offered the role! According to my new G6, the panel agreed that I ‘knocked it out the park’ in the interview, and I beat nine other interviewees to the position. A huge thank you for your coaching, advice and encouragement. Without it, I can categorically say I wouldn’t have been offered the role. I’ll be back in a few years’ time, when I’m looking for my next role!

Elizabeth is truly amazing. She has not only helped me stand tall but also completely transformed how I approach interviews and view my skill set. As an interview coach, she goes beyond the basics of preparing for a role. She helps you tailor your skills to fit the specific roles you’re applying for, but more importantly, she opens your eyes to what you’re truly capable of. Sometimes we underestimate our natural abilities because they come easily to us, but Elizabeth shows you how to express these in a way that highlights their full value. She helps you see beyond tasks and focus on the big picture - especially on soft skills, which are crucial in today’s job market. When I first worked with Elizabeth, I received offers from three major companies immediately after our sessions, and I was able to choose the role that was the perfect fit for me. When I later went through a career change, she helped me again, and I successfully landed the job I was aiming for. I highly recommend Elizabeth. Her insights and guidance are invaluable!

I highly recommend Elizabeth and the interview skills clinic. Elizabeth helped me prepare for an interview for a Civil Service Grade 6 role and the three sessions gave me the confidence and skills needed to get the job. As someone who has struggled with interviews in the past I now have the skills to confidently tackle senior Civil Service interviews for the years to come. Elizabeth has a complete understanding the civil service behaviours and interview format so it felt like getting insider knowledge which proved to be essential. Thanks again to Elizabeth and the team.

Elizabeth was really helpful in supporting me to prepare for an upcoming interview. She completely understood the type of interview I would be facing, and with her support I managed to reshape my case studies and improve my performance, which meant I was able to give a much better account of my skills, experience, and suitability for the role which I was applying. Elizabeth was recommended to me by a colleague (and a brilliant recommendation it was too), and I have since recommended her to several other friends and colleagues.

Elizabeth is an outstanding interview coach whom I highly recommend. Her sessions helped me overcome insecurities as a non-native speaker working in higher education, boosting my confidence and highlighting my skills and abilities. Elizabeth’s calm and kind attitude helped me to stay grounded, but also guided me back to my strengths when I felt lost during the interview, ultimately leading to the attainment of my dream job. I am immensely grateful for her support and look forward to future collaborations.

Elizabeth is a very supportive coach. I was applying for a Business Analyst role and within an hour of a second interview I was called back by the company to let me know that they really liked me and offered me the job. I thought I knew how to use the STAR approach before but Elizabeth has a unique interpretation of it and I was complimented on my response. What really helped me was the way she broke the STAR up for me in a way which was relevant to the role and sector I was going for. My interview felt much more like a conversation. I learnt a lot and feel so much more confident in interviews

After five years abroad,I decided to re enter the London job market. Having used Elizabeth's services before, I did not hesitate to contact her again. With her guidance and support I was successful in getting offers from multiple companies. Elizabeth is sincere and cares about her clients and their job satisfaction beyond the remit of her role as an interview coach, her many years of experience give her a discerning eye and she can predict in a very short space of time what her clients need and how to get them from A to B. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She also goes out of her way to make time for her clients and is very punctual and organised.

I was feeling insecure in my communication skills when I met with Elizabeth for a mock interview. Her knowledge paired with her straightforward approach meant that in one hour we had covered a number of actionable insights that instantly boosted my confidence. I walked into the interview with a clear plan (and renewed belief in my competence) and dare I say I even enjoyed it! Thank you for doing what you do!
