Being open is different from being ready to leave
You might like your team and still want a shorter commute. You may enjoy portfolio management but want a clearer path into leadership. Or you might be comfortable where you are and simply interested in what else could fit.
Registering an interest does not need to turn into an active job search. It can be a way to set out what would make a future opportunity worth discussing, while getting on with your current role.
Define what would make a move worthwhile
Choose the few things that would genuinely improve your working life. These could include support with administration, a more manageable portfolio, a different location, a particular system or agreed flexibility around meeting nights.
Separate those priorities from things that would merely be nice to have. If the commute is the reason you are open to moving, an impressive title on the other side of the city may not solve the problem. A useful introduction should answer the reason you registered.
Set the contact boundaries
Use a personal email address and tell us the safest way and time to contact you. If you only want email, say so. You do not need to use your work phone or provide your current manager as a referee at the first conversation.
We discuss a potential introduction with you before sharing identifying details with a prospective business. We will not contact your current employer or approach referees without your permission. You can ask to update or withdraw your registration if your circumstances change.
Assess the opportunity before deciding
When a possible match comes up, ask about the work behind the vacancy. Why is the role available? What is the portfolio like? Who provides support? How are meetings and urgent matters handled?
An initial conversation is a chance to test whether the opportunity fits. You can say no, stay where you are or take time to think. The aim is a worthwhile match for both sides, not a move for its own sake.
