Your CTP Assist SEC can help you with a starting point of your Personal Resettlement Plan (PRP) through your interactions with them, but you also have the tools online to go through.
The Career Assessment Activities will help you to clarify your career objectives and evidence what you offer to help effectively sell yourself in a CV and at interview.

Create a Profile
In order to maximise the benefit that you derive from CTP Rightjob, please take the time to create your profile. As with any job posting website this is particularly important as it will help ensure that you receive notification of appropriate opportunities and events in line with your qualifications, experience and aspirations. By failing to do this you are not taking full advantage of what is available to you and therefore, are certainly going to miss out on some excellent opportunities. Even if you are not quite job ready, you can utilise CTP’s Right Job to help you in researching your local labour market and the types of roles, salaries and industries that are recruiting in the area you wish to settle.
To create your profile simply click on the RighJob tab or search for jobs tab. When the new window opens click on the Profile tab on the top right hand side of the screen and populate information under the respective headings:
- Personal Information
- Skills and Preferences
- Qualifications
- Career Profile
- CV’s - You can upload up to 5 CVs. Your CV and your profile will be used by our Employment Consultants to match your skills to suitable jobs.
- myPlan Activity
For any guidance or support in completing your profile contact your CTP Assist SEC.

SERVICE LEAVERS' ADJUSTMENT PASSPORT
What is the Adjustments Passport?
The Adjustments Passport provides an up-to-date record of the adjustments the Service leaver may need when they move into employment. The passport cannot be passed on to anyone automatically, meaning the Service Leaver has control of the information and who sees it.
Who is eligible?
The Adjustments Passport is aimed at Armed Forces Personnel who need adjustments, with the purpose to aid the Service Personnel who are transitioning into civilian employment, regardless of why they leave service, this will include:
- Those being medically discharged for reasons which include the need for aids to employment.
- Those medically discharging for unrelated reasons but who still require aids to employment.
- Those leaving the service for other reasons (Welfare/Discipline/End of Engagement etc) who may need aids to future employment
