For employers
When a job ends, support usually stops at the CV.
A free 12-week programme for people leaving your business. One link in the exit pack. Anonymised totals back to you.
In development. Pilot places are open.
What we offer
Free for the first pilot, in return for an anonymised case study. Open to everyone leaving, whatever their role.
Why this, and why now
Pay is the part everyone plans for. A job also gives structure, activity, contact, purpose and status. When it ends, all six go at once.
I was made redundant after seventeen years in MedTech. The CV help was easy to find. Help with the rest was not. So I am building it, and testing it before I ask anyone to rely on it.
The science, and its limits
The harm of job loss is well documented. What helps is less certain. We build on the parts with the strongest backing and say where it is thin.
| Figure | What it means |
|---|---|
| 113,000 | People made redundant in the UK in June to August 2026, 3.8 per 1,000 employees. ONS |
| 324 | Studies pooled in a major review. Unemployed people had worse mental health, and the evidence points to job loss as the cause. Paul and Moser, 2009 |
| 19% | Of the variation in mental health explained by the six things above. Each one counted on its own. Karsten et al., 2023 |
| 1,801 | People in a randomised trial of a job-search and coping programme. Weeks 5 to 10 of ours follow its parts. Michigan JOBS |
Symptoms are higher out of work and fall on re-employment
Pooled effect on symptoms, with 95% confidence intervals, from 38 follow-up studies. The authors rate the certainty low, so treat it as likely, not settled. Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2025
What we do not know yet
- This programme has not been tested in the UK. The pilot is the test.
- How many people will join. We will publish our numbers either way.
- It is not counselling or treatment. It does not replace outplacement or your legal process, and we make no claim about legal outcomes.
