Argo,
I've worked for a large Outplacement firm heading up the Career Transition service delivery area. I hired a number of contractors to deliver a range of job search related training programs both one on one and in groups. It may be worth having a think about whether this type of work suits you by speaking to those in the industry. There are full time roles available from time to time (scarce) in this area as well as contracting (more so). Also, you could consider the business development side of this industry. I suspect your background would be relatively well suited to either side (delivery or development) in many ways and I know a number of former
HR consultants that have come in on this type of work with considerable success - (they usually have a good handle on
HR issues and are seen as credible to the client base). The development role is very much "corporate" ie sales targets etc but the delivery is a step removed from this front line and more dealing with both the practicalities of those in transition as well as the more psychological aspects. Talk to lots of people to gain left field ideas and inspiration - you might also subscribe to psychxchange which have a number of Human Services related jobs advertised.
Regards
Chris
