Careers

It’s about young people finding purpose, discovering what matters to them, their place in the world, the point of studying and getting up in the morning. Sometimes people think careers is just information about options and planning for the future. It’s so much more. It can give hope, meaning, purpose, self-esteem and the ability to navigate the challenges of life. – Liane Hambly

Rachael Talbot

I studied an Undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Sunderland, and started working in Careers way back in 2002. I recently completed my Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance and Development. In my free time I enjoy playing hockey and running, in October 2021 I ran the Virtual London Marathon, and raised over £700 for charity.
