Our Cross-Company Returner Programmes bring together multiple organisations with smaller recruitment needs to form one large cohort.

We work in partnership with industry groups such as the Diversity Project and the Insurance Families Network to drive change at a sector level. These hybrid programmes offer you flexibility to hire returning talent on a 6-month returnship or straight into a permanent role. We launch our sector cross-company programmes from January to May and September to October.

  • The Diversity Project Cross-Company Returner Programme was piloted in 2020 and has supported 76 returners back into the Investment and Savings sector.
  • The Insurance Cross-Company Returner Programme launched in 2024, with the first cohort stepping stepping back into the insurance sector.

If your organisation is not in these sectors, contact us to discuss joining a cross-sector Cross-Company Returner Programme, where we will align you with similar employers working to the same timeframe as you.

What our Employer Partners say about us

tideway
"I believe that working with [Career] Returners is the most effective and efficient way to run a returner programme. They have the expertise, the networks and the knowledge and provide a specialised and independent source of support to HR and to the participant group. After 30 years in HR, I have extensive experience but not of supporting people back to work after long career breaks. [Career] Returners made this process easy for us and were a major factor in the success of the returnship. I would not run another programme without them."

“At O2 we are always looking for new ways to attract talent and specifically female talent in STEM. [Career] Returners provided us with a one stop shop of well qualified candidates and professional support to launch the first of our programmes. The team at [Career] Returners supported us every step of the way, from supporting with the design of our recruitment process, helping to identify the candidates to shaping the programme and training. With a focussed and consultancy approach Women Returners were willing to tailor to suit the company and the requirements of the O2 programme. Following the success of the programme we sponsored the Women Returners Conference which was a massive success and again showed the amazing talent looking to return to the workplace.”
