Career Returners (previously Women Returners) is a purpose-led consulting, coaching and network organisation which specialises in enabling the return to work of experienced professionals after an extended career break. A social business, we're on a mission to remove the career break penalty and make career breaks a valued part of a lifetime career. We have deep expertise in creating best practice returner programmes, having supported over 3,500 returners back to work through our partner programmes. We pioneered returnships in the UK and Ireland and now offer the majority of our services globally. We have worked on a partnership basis with over 180 employers across sectors to design, support and embed successful returner initiatives, in the form of returnships, supported (direct) hiring and retraining programmes. Our specialised Career Returners Coaching Programme effectively supports returners through the transition back to work. We regularly host return-to-work events, including our annual Women Returners Conference. We run the free-of-charge Career Returners Professional Network, a community for over 9,000 members providing advice, support and inspiration to returning professionals. We also act as a voice for the returner community and provide expert commentary on returning to work in media and Government forums.
