Your expertise belongs
in this conversation.
Leap Forward Careers is building a trusted resource for mid-career professionals managing hidden conditions at work. If you have knowledge that would help them navigate better — we want to hear from you.
Submit Your IdeaWho We’re Looking For
The people who know this space best rarely get to speak in it.
We’re looking for contributors who can write from real knowledge — professional expertise, practical experience, or lived reality. Not a CV, not a policy document. Something useful.
Employment Lawyers
Where the Equality Act actually bites — and where it doesn’t. Practical guidance on rights, process, and what employees should know before they need a solicitor.
Occupational Health Professionals
The gap between what OH can deliver and what employers actually request. What a good referral looks like — from both sides.
HR Professionals
What happens behind the scenes when an employee discloses. How to make reasonable adjustments work in practice, not just on paper.
Professionals with Lived Experience
Mid-career professionals who have navigated disclosure, adjustments, or career decisions with a hidden condition — and want to share what they learned.
Researchers & Clinicians
Evidence-based perspectives on conditions that affect work: prevalence, impact, what the literature says vs. what workplaces do.
Advocates & Specialists
Anyone working at the intersection of health and employment who has useful, grounded insight for people managing work alongside a hidden condition.
What Contributors Get
Your work reaches an audience that needs it.
We don’t offer payment, but we do offer reach — and a readership that’s actively looking for exactly what you know.
Published on leapstartcareers.com
Your article is published on the website as a standalone, citable piece with your name and credentials.
Shared across our channels
Promoted on LinkedIn, TikTok (@careeradviceuk), and Facebook to our growing community of mid-career professionals.
Author bio & link
Every article includes a contributor bio and link to your website, LinkedIn, or practice — your choice.

You retain your work
You own your article. We publish it here; you can republish it wherever you like.
No word count rules
Write as much or as little as the topic needs. A sharp 400-word piece is as welcome as a detailed 1,500-word guide.
What to Write About
Topics our readers are asking about.
These are examples — not a closed list. If you have something useful that fits the space, pitch it.
Submission Guidelines
A few things to know before you write.
We keep it simple. The bar is usefulness, not perfection.
Peer-level tone
Write as if you’re talking to a capable professional, not explaining to a client. No clinical framing. No institutional language. Assume intelligence.
UK context
Our audience is UK-based. All legal, HR, and workplace references should apply to UK employment law and practice.
Practical over theoretical
What should a reader actually do differently after reading your piece? That answer should be obvious by the end.
No word count rules
Write what the topic needs. 400 words or 1,500 words — both work. We won’t pad or cut for length.
Mid-career audience
Our readers are professionals — not new entrants, not those in supported employment. They’re in the game and want to stay there.
Pitch first
Send us your idea before you write the full piece. We’ll confirm fit quickly and you won’t waste time on something that doesn’t land.
Submit Your Pitch
Tell us what you want to write.
A paragraph is enough. We respond to every submission — usually within a week.
