BLUE LIGHT LEAVERS
Are you looking for help in getting your career off the ground? Looking for a change of direction or looking at what your next steps could be following retirement from the Emergency Services?
If you answered yes to any of those questions then we have the help you need.
After serving for 30 years in mainly frontline roles (including 24/7 response, Territorial Support Group, Dog Handler, Response and Neighbourhood policing Sergeant, Firearms Sergeant, Head of Operational Training and more), as Andy approached the end of his service, he was really unsettled and worried about life after policing.
He successfully applied for and transitioned to a new role in Project Management, then went freelance as a Lead IT Business Change Manager and is currently in charge of Modern Workplace Technology for a global online fashion retailer.
Hearing he’d successfully transitioned to a new career, he was approached by friends and ex-colleagues who needed guidance and support moving into new careers, mid-service and on retirement and due to his success in helping them successfully apply for and understand how to map across their skills and experience to new roles, word of mouth referrals led to more and more enquiries and Blue Light Leavers was created to help more people in all Emergency Services, and now has a private Facebook group of over 2.5k, with members from the UK, Ireland, North America, Australia and more and a Blue Light Podcast audience across 47 countries.
Andy delivers free calls to talk through potential career options, ideas and first steps, online group transition/resettlement programmes, interview preparation training and 1-2-1 bespoke job finder, career coaching and mentoring.
