Stepping up to Consultant

Transitioning into the role of a consultant can feel both exciting and daunting. As a newly fellowed consultant, one of the most challenging realisations is that there’s no clearly defined pathway for securing your first consultant position. It’s rare for a consultant role to seamlessly align with your transition, particularly in your current workplace.

For most, the journey begins with navigating fractional appointments and proactively building a portfolio of work over the first 1–5 years. This collection will help you understand the realities of this process and provide guidance on how to navigate this pivotal stage of your career.
