Supporting career transitions or spouses and partners

At Pickfords Relocation, we understand that a successful international relocation involves the whole family. For spouses and partners, restarting a career or seeking new opportunities in a new country can be challenging, especially when navigating job markets, cultural differences and language barriers. 

Our spousal support services are designed to ease that transition. Through our trusted supplier network, we provide access to experienced career coaches who are themselves former expatriates and understand the unique challenges of relocation. Whether your assignee's partner is looking for employment, freelance work or a new career, we offer practical, tailored support every step of the way.

Personalised coaching from experienced professionals

Each spouse or partner is matched with a dedicated career coach based on their career background, industry experience and personal goals. The process begins with a dedicated career and skills assessment, which forms the basis of a customised action plan and coaching programme. 

Our coaches offer both strategic advice and hands-on support, helping the individual define their professional objectives and identify realistic opportunities in the local market. 

Practical, goal-focused support services

The coaching programme includes guidance on how to develop a job search strategy suited to a new market and build a strong professional profile. This includes support with creating a CV or LinkedIn profile that reflects local expectations, improving interview skills and navigating the offer and negotiation process. 

Where required, we also provide support in exploring freelance work, entrepreneurship or volunteering. Our coaches help build new professional networks, identify relevant companies and research suitable roles - enabling your assignee's spouses and partners to make informed, confident career decisions.
