About Me

Welcome — I’m Kathryn, Founder of KBCareers

With more than two decades in career development, recruitment and HR, I’m a career advisory professional and job search specialist dedicated to helping people build work lives they genuinely enjoy. As an action-oriented working mum, I’m passionate about supporting individuals to unlock their potential and create careers that truly work for them.

I specialise in working with people seeking flexible work, career change or a more fulfilling direction. Whether you’re returning after a break, exploring a new path, or ready to progress in your current field, I help you gain clarity, confidence and a clear plan to move forward. My mission is to show you the art of the possible — opening up opportunities you may not even realise you have.

After more than 20 years shaping hiring strategies, improving candidate experience and guiding professionals through every stage of the job search, I know how overwhelming today’s career landscape can feel. I’ve seen the challenges that come with applications, interviews and big decisions — and I use this insight to offer practical, personalised and results-driven support.

From job-search strategy and CV optimisation to interview coaching and confidence building, I provide the tools and guidance to help you take the next step with certainty.

If you’re ready to explore new opportunities, find better balance and take control of your career, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Transform Your Future

Your First Step

Our journey starts with a complimentary 30–60 minute discovery call, where we’ll explore your current situation, your goals, and what you’d like to achieve next.

From there, we’ll build a bespoke support package tailored specifically to your needs — giving you the right level of guidance, structure, and momentum.

Job searching can feel like a full-time job in itself. The key is knowing where to focus your time and energy: on the activities that help you stand out and secure the opportunities that truly fit.

These sessions are designed to help you cut through the noise, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence, purpose, and direction.

Who We Support

You might be:

Looking for part-time or flexible opportunities that match your experience.

At any stage of your career, making a change can feel daunting. With the right professional support, it can also be an energising, thought-provoking and a rewarding experience — one that helps you get the results you want and need.
