coping with job loss

we're here for you 

When you're made redundant or let go, it's not just your job you lose - your sense of security, confidence and even a part of your identity can go along with it. But it's not something you need to experience alone.

From practical one-to-one guidance if you're unsure what to do, to support securing your next role, whatever you're feeling and whatever you need - financial help, coaching, or legal advice - we're here to support you.

Choose the support that feels right for you below, or talk to us if you’re unsure where to start.

''When I was made redundant, I contacted caba for career's advice, and they offered me career coaching. The coach helped me enhance my LinkedIn skills and helped me reflect on how I came across in inerviews, encourging me to have a more positive mindset. I hadn't even finished the coaching sessions when I was offered a really great role.''

- Anthony
