RETURN TO EARN
Finding work is difficult – and
even more so if you’ve been
out of the loop for a while – so
we offer you advice for taking
the first step back.
G
etting back into
work can prove a
very difficult and
emotionally trying situation.
Whether you are seeking
employment following
redundancy, maternity
or paternity leave or an
extended break for health
reasons, attempting to reenter
the workforce is often
a daunting experience to say
the least.
YOUR
SITUATION
In the current economic
climate, redundancy is
becoming more common,
meaning there are more
people out of employment.
Being made redundant can

be a traumatic event: it can
knock your confidence and
leave you feeling lost. However,
it is important to look
at it as an opportunity to reassess
your career, to decide
what you want to do.
If you are making the return
to work after a period of
looking after your children,
then there are a plethora of
considerations – other than
personal preference – that
need to be factored in when
finding work. It may also
be worthwhile considering
Child Tax Credit if you do not
already receive it, as it can
be highly beneficial both in
terms of general expenditure
on your children whilst
working but additionally if
you are paying for registered
or approved childcare.
Deciding to return to
employment following
mental illness – particularly
depression – can also prove
very complicated and
although it will never be a
straightforward transition,
one of your best options
may be to accept work
even if it is not your ideal
role, as once you have
made the initial step into
employment, it should
prove easier.
