Renovo: Our partner in helping solicitors everyday with professional wellbeing
When life throws a curveball, whether it’s a career change, a break from work, or the challenge of finding a new direction, strong support for the professional wellbeing of people really matters. That’s why The Solicitors’ Charity has a long-term partnership with Renovo experts in career transition coaching. Renovo helps solicitors’ step confidently into their next chapter, offering practical advice and expert coaching no matter at what point they are in their career and what that next stage might be.
A new approach to career transition
In today’s fast-changing job market, traditional services just aren’t enough. Chris Parker, Managing Director of Renovo, saw this firsthand. He explains:
“The world has changed, and the way people search for jobs has changed with it. Our services have evolved to be more practical, more immediate, and more focused on getting real results”
Back in 2009, during a global financial crisis and record unemployment, Renovo set out to reinvent how career support should work. No more one-size-fits-all advice. Renovo’s model is dynamic and responsive, designed to support individuals with expert coaching, advanced career technology, and unwavering support at every stage.
Why The Solicitors’ Charity partnered with Renovo
With Renovo’s support, solicitors gain access to an experienced career coach who can guide them through the complex world of modern job searching, offering real-world advice and strategies that lead to measurable success. Chris Parker, Managing Director of Renovo shared:
“I’m proud of the work our coaches do with The Solicitors’ Charity clients. We continually improve what we do to bring life-changing professional support to the people we are privileged to work with”
Their intention aligns perfectly with The Solicitors’ Charity’s commitment to providing solicitors with the tailored support they need, both emotionally and professionally.
Offering individual career coaching to more solicitors than ever
Thanks to the partnership with The Solicitors’ Charity, Renovo is helping more solicitors more than ever with professional wellbeing.
Anita McCallum, Director of Impact and Development, at The Solicitors’ Charity reflects on the partnership:
“In 2024 we referred nearly 40 solicitors (at varying stages in their career) to Renovo for professional career coaching. It’s interesting to note that although many have secured a new role using Renovo tools and support like a CV & Elevator Pitch Builder and Interview Simulator, some have found a different path from conventional employment. Over one in six chose to go into self-employment or to retire altogether. It shows that the Renovo service is helping solicitors find their ideal path within or outside of traditional employment solutions”.
Support every step of the way – some client views
What do solicitors think about the service offered by Renovo? Here are some thoughts from those who tried the service:
“I found the service useful and easy to access. The resources it offers such as the one-to-one training is very practical and useful especially in supporting solicitors like me who may feel vulnerable following redundancy or other career-altering situations”.
“A very efficient and well-run service with expert support given in respect of all job recruiting areas. The one-to-one support proved to be vital in terms of updating a CV, providing useful advice and interviewing tips. Overall, my Career Coach was excellent”.
“I had a pleasant experience with my Renovo Coach. The one-to-one support was very helpful and informative, the coach obviously knows what they are doing and is good at it! I had not applied for a job in years and was not aware of the interview techniques or issues with my CV”.
