2025 Highlights

We make a real difference to unemployed professionals and graduates across the UK, providing job search guidance, networking opportunities and a support network. Over the last two years we have seen an exponential increase in the numbers of people coming to us for help.

What can we offer?

Our volunteer team have a wide range of experiences from different industry sectors at senior levels and as consultants. Programme topics are chosen for their relevance to help you find your next job effectively and efficiently.

We meet virtually on Monday evenings (during term time) from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. From 7:00 till 7:30 there is an opportunity for informal networking in separate breakout rooms.

But we don’t do all the work – Careers Springboard is firmly based on self and mutual-help. Jobseekers at Careers Springboard are most successful in securing a new role when they motivate themselves and respond actively to the jobseeker services, the guidance and the direction offered to them at Careers Springboard.

We encourage our members to become fully involved in activities and to network with fellow members supporting their job search whilst sharing in and applauding their success.

A little background…

Careers Springboard Gerrards Cross is part of a network of Job Clubs in the Thames Valley area operating under the umbrella of what was the Foundation for Jobseekers. You are welcome to attend any of the meetings of our sister organisations in Slough and Newbury but please contact them first. Please look at their websites for details of topics and meeting days and times. Each group has its own identity but we share the same philosophy, best practice, speakers and innovative thinking.

As a registered charity, we are funded individually and jointly by local parish councils, local authorities and private funding which allows us to offer a range of Free services to help jobseekers.

All we ask of you is to let us know when and where you have found new work and to share your success with fellow members and the volunteer team. Your successes will provide regular opportunities to celebrate and motivate our Careers Springboard members.
