Companies that actively seek to assist you getting back to work

Yes, they do exist. Many organisations have realised that there is a large untapped source of high quality potential employees that they are missing when recruiting and  as a result have developed specific programs or a business culture that is supportive of  those who have taken a break from work and wish to return. Some offer specific back to work programs that are available only at particular times of the year. Others offer a range of flexible working arrangements and are open to those who have been out of the workforce - quite a few organisations offer both. This list is not exhaustive - If you are aware of employers that fit into these categories but are not listed please contact us.

 Recruitment Consultants
There are very few recruiters that specialise or support returning to work after a break. The exceptions are:

Pivot connects highly skilled women with project based work in a range of fields so can also provide a range of options for those who have a break from the workforce. They take the time to meet each candidate and give lots of useful advice.
Wise at Work helps seasoned (aged over 50) professionals find work. Thier site helps you make connections, build new skills and then find work.
