Spouse Employment Support

Personalised and practical career counselling

It is widely recognised that increasing numbers of families depend on two incomes, so the thought of one partner having to leave their job, or suspend their career, due to a potential job move can be a significant factor in employees declining a relocation offer.

Our spouse employment programme helps to overcome these issues by supporting an employee's spouse or partner in finding a rewarding job, further education course, or volunteering opportunity in the new location.

This can have a number of positive effects for both the client and the employee;

• Measurable increase in successful relocations
• Improves employee's productivity, morale and ability to transition smoothly
• Can assist in the recruitment of high talent employees with working spouses
• Reduces stress for the employee knowing spouse has support finding a new job
• Tangible career and job search support for spouse
• Reduces risk of assignment failure; likely that relocation will be a positive experience for the entire family

The spouse employment support is available both in the UK and in a variety of destinations worldwide. Support is typically provided face-to-face and is fully personalized to address the needs of the spouse.

A sample support programme may include career counselling, resume/CV writing and review, interview preparation through role-playing, providing a list of potential employers, information about the local job market and advice on the equivalence of specialist qualifications. Equally, support can be provided on the process of becoming self-employed, finding further educational opportunities, or simply advice on volunteering when paid work is not an option.
