    Brief

    Career Transition Support provides structured, personalised guidance to outgoing Permanent Secretaries planning their next career move. This service offers dedicated support to help individuals reflect on their professional experience, clarify their priorities, and explore future career options, enabling informed and confident decision-making about their next steps. The approach is built around a bespoke framework tailored to each individual's unique circumstances, with flexible engagement options, meetings arranged at convenient times, and delivery paced to align with personal needs and priorities. The service is delivered by SSCL and recognises that each career transition situation is distinct, requiring a customised support model rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
