Career Advice and Career Coaching
The Cameron Fund is able to provide career coaching for eligible applicants who would like to pursue an alternative career using their qualifications and experience.
We will pay for six hours of coaching and advice to support for eligible applicants with an organisation called Working Transitions to assist them to begin an alternative career.
Working Transitions have produced this useful Guide to Alternative Careers for GPs which may be of assistance if you are considering finding employment elsewhere in medicine of in a separate field.
If you would like to apply to the Cameron Fund for career coaching and career advice please complete an application form. To access our Applying For Help page click here.
Working Transitions is used by many large employers, including Southwark Council, General Motors, HSBC and Aon, to provide outreach support for staff who are being made redundant or who are no longer suitable for the professional roles for which they were engaged
Face to face support is offered flexibly to suit an individual’s needs and their progress towards alternative employment. The six hour program covers: ensuring an individual undertakes a structured process to identify suitable alternative options based on their skills, strengths and work preferences; ensuring motivation to commence a proactive job campaign; coaching on how to prepare for an effective competency-based interview and developing a resilience and determination to continue with the job campaign.
In addition to the six hour program, there is access to a career web site to assist in matching skills to roles and unlimited telephone coaching following job interviews.
