Want to Change Careers?

New Career Options

Whether in your 30s, 40s or 50s people are changing career more and more frequently. Deciding to make a complete career change can be risky. You may be surrendering your current job and security to try something new. What happens if you don’t succeed, or if your new career turns out to be a disappointment? We will help you to make an informed decision and plan your career for the longer-term.

At CareerBalance we have helped hundreds of individuals to make successful career changes. They range from senior executives to new graduates. We take a cautious approach, recognising that you have invested in qualifications and built you expertise and skills to get where you are.  We help you to explore careers in related areas before identifying very new career options.

We’ve helped lawyers become writers and speech therapists and bankers to become teachers and journalists. We’ve supported life-long employees to set up their own businesses.

We’ll assess your strengths, values, needs and aspirations and we’ll point out the most suitable career open to you. These can range from a complete change in role and sector to going freelance and starting your own business.
