Case Study – We helped our client Nick to launch a new career in bid writing and improve his salary by £40,000
Nick came to us feeling stuck in his £20,000 salary role as Administrator for a charity and unsure how to develop his career. We worked with Nick initially to help him review his options, identify target career paths based on his skills and launch a new career as a Bid Writer.
We then re-worked Nick’s CV and provided interview coaching to help him secure his first bid writing role before providing an ongoing programme of Career Development Coaching with regular check ins. We helped Nick progress through 5 roles in 3 years (including one job change within 2 weeks to enable his house purchase to continue!). Nick has now achieved his target role of Senior Bid Writer for a large construction contractor, earning over £60,000 annually.
“I’m pleased to report that I’ve verbally accepted an offer for a Bid Writer role with a salary of £62k plus 10% discretionary annual bonus. Fortunately this all means I can continue with the house purchase. Thank you for all your assistance. I could not have done it without you!” Nick D

Career Transition & Career Development Coaching
Before your first Career Coaching session
Before your first Career Coaching session we will ask you to send some details to help your Career Coach to prepare effectively, ensuring you get the most from your Career Coaching. This can include your CV or copies of Job Applications you have previously submitted. You can also send us details of any roles you are targeting. This will help your Career Coach to gain an understanding of your background, skills and experience.
Session 1) Career Discovery
Both our Career Transition Coaching and Career Development Coaching include an initial Career Discovery session to help you identify your career requirements and aspirations. We will also conduct a Skills Audit to build a realistic picture of what you do best as well as a Career Barriers Review to assess whether career paths you are considering are realistic based on your skills and experience. This will enable your Career Coach to develop recommendations for your next move.
Research & Review
After your Career Discovery session your Career Coach will conduct in depth research to create your personalised Career Options Recommendations. This will include detailed research into potential roles and career paths you could take, including potential target job titles, realistic salary expectations and progression routes as well as skills and experience you may need to consider developing to progress on your chosen career path.
Session 2) Career Mapping
During this session, your Career Coach will provide detailed feedback and recommended career development options based on your Career Discovery and research. Your coach will then work with you to compare these options and help you decide on the path you would like to take. We will then help you create your personal Career or Transition Strategy and define your short/long-term career goals. The final stage of this process involves Career Mapping, detailing your planned progression and career milestones over the next 1, 5 and 10 years.
