Career Break Support

Taking a break in career can be a challenge no matter your role, balancing the motivation for the break in your working life with the drive to continue working in some capacity in the future.

No matter the reason for your career break, the Training Hub can provide opportunities to access advice, support and training to help you before, during and after your absence from work.

Our Career Break Support programme provides lots of options to choose from whatever the stage you are at in your career, and is available to any GP taking a break of between 6 and 24 months from General Practice.  The support package includes:

  • 1:1 conversation with a member of our local GP support team for impartial support and advice to address the practical challenges (mandatory)
  • 1:1 coaching and mentoring
  • Group coaching sessions
  • Quarterly KiT sessions
  • Access to a CPD bursary to support the costs of return-to-work CPD (terms and conditions apply)
  • Enhanced Return to Work Induction placements
