Practical, personal support for employees affected by redundancy or restructuring, for organisations in Princes Risborough and across the Thames Valley. Honest advice, personal support and a clearer way forward.
Redundancy may be a necessary business decision for an organisation in Princes Risborough: a formal process with a defined outcome. For the person affected it can mean uncertainty, a loss of confidence and the sudden prospect of navigating a recruitment market they may not have experienced for many years.
Too often the formal process ends with a letter, some general information and a thank you and good luck. Oakmyre works with organisations across the Thames Valley to provide practical, meaningful career transition support, helping employees recognise their value, communicate their experience and feel better prepared for whatever comes next.
Most organisations know this kind of support as outplacement, and plenty of larger providers offer it as a standard programme. Oakmyre calls it career transition because it is personal and tailored to each individual, and because it draws on the wider career advisory work we already do for senior professionals. Organisations in Princes Risborough get the industry service with a more personal feel.
Outplacement is the industry term. Career transition is how we do it.
An organisation in Princes Risborough may need personalised support for one employee, specialist help for a departing senior leader, or a practical programme for a group affected by a restructure. Support can be introduced during a restructure, throughout a redundancy programme or as employees prepare to leave.
Three programmes for organisations in Princes Risborough, each tailored to the people affected rather than run as a generic process. The group programme is delivered live online; one-to-one support is arranged around the individual.
Individual, one-to-one support tailored to the employee’s experience, aspirations and future direction: career consultation and positioning, a professionally rewritten CV and LinkedIn profile, and a focused job-search and market guidance session.
Confidential, personalised support for senior leaders: executive positioning with a leadership narrative, executive CV and LinkedIn profile; executive market strategy covering search firms, networks and permanent, interim, fractional, consultancy or portfolio routes; and executive selection preparation.
An interactive small-group programme for up to ten employees: two live 90-minute online sessions, recruiter-led, beginning with a planning conversation and tailored to the seniority and needs of the group.
Tailored cover letters and supporting statements, mock interviews and further interview coaching can be commissioned separately. Optional confidential one-to-one coaching is available alongside any programme through a specialist coaching partner.
Oakmyre combines deep recruitment expertise with honest advice, current market knowledge and genuinely personal support. Employees are treated as individuals, not directed to a generic portal, and the guidance is informed by a real understanding of how hiring decisions are made.
Oakmyre was founded following redundancy. We understand that it is rarely just a professional change, and that is what organisations in Buckinghamshire get when they ask us to support their people.
Constructive, straightforward advice. Never embellished.
People describe the time taken to understand them, and the difference it made to how they presented themselves.
She helped me recognise and articulate my achievements, refine my CV, and improve its overall structure and impact. She also expertly rewrote my LinkedIn profile, ensuring my key skills and accomplishments were clearly highlighted, and guided me through updating it with confidence.
I could tell straight away that she had done her research, not only in the current job market I was looking in, but me personally, which helped with the fine details of my CV and LinkedIn profile. With this help Sian helped me secure a new role which I was very pleased about.
She does not just place you in a role; she invests in your journey and builds a genuine, lasting relationship based on trust. You never have to wonder where you stand because her communication is proactive, clear, and honest.
Outplacement is the industry term for career transition support that an organisation provides for employees it is making redundant or restructuring. Oakmyre uses the term career transition because the support is personal and tailored rather than a standard programme. We offer one-to-one support, executive career transition for senior leaders, and a live online programme for groups of up to ten, for organisations in Princes Risborough and across the Thames Valley.
Oakmyre will work with you to understand the people affected, the support they may need and your proposed timescale, before recommending a tailored programme and providing a clear proposal. Programmes can be commissioned separately or combined.
During a restructure, throughout a redundancy programme or as employees prepare to leave the organisation.
No. Our career transition services are designed to strengthen an individual’s confidence, professional positioning and readiness for the job market. While we provide practical guidance and experienced recruitment insight, we cannot guarantee interviews, job offers or employment outcomes.
No. Participation in a career transition programme does not create recruitment representation or guarantee access to Oakmyre assignments. Any future recruitment activity will be managed separately and in line with the requirements of the appointing organisation.
Providing meaningful career transition support demonstrates that an organisation’s commitment to its people does not end when their employment does. If you are planning a restructure or redundancy programme in Buckinghamshire, we would welcome the conversation.
