We're excited to bring you the first ever 'Coach To Care' hiring programme, an initiative designed to support women over 40 interested in securing job opportunities within the social care sector.

Coach To Care is a free, individually tailored, 1:2:1 coaching programme delivered over Microsoft Teams or Zoom that aims to help potential, eligible job applicants with;

•       Increasing self-confidence and belief
•       CV and general application form filling skills
•       Interview techniques
•       Identifying and describing transferrable skills

As the first social care organisation in Scotland to achieve Menopause Friendly Accreditation we are acutely aware of the various challenges women who are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause can face when it comes to their career and the workplace.

The programme aims to provide a range of support to woman over 40, who are either looking to return to the workplace after a period of at least six months, or who are currently in employment but keen to transfer into a role within the care sector. The programme is the first of its kind in Scotland and participants can also access vital support from a dedicated Menopause Coach, providing practical hints and tips around how to manage peri/menopause symptoms.

We have also made a poster available to any individual who would prefer a more 'at-a-glance' description of the programme, or for any organisation or body who wishes to help promote Coach to Care.
