Career Coaching

Helping You Discover Direction, Build Confidence & Take the Next Step

What’s it about

Our Career Coaching programme is here to support individuals who feel stuck, uncertain, or unmotivated when it comes to work, learning, or life choices. Whether you’re unemployed, exploring a career change, or just unsure of what’s next — we’ll help you take control of your future with confidence and clarity.

Career Coaching at OAK Community Development is more than CVs and job searches — it’s about you. We help you reflect on your values, strengths, and goals, and work with you to overcome any personal or external barriers to success.

Through one-to-one support, we’ll help you:

Identify your skills, interests, and potential career paths
Build confidence and self-belief
Develop a realistic plan for work, training, or further education
Improve communication and decision-making skills
Take small steps that lead to big changes

Our approach is person-centred, faith-sensitive, and tailored to your journey — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
