Senior Professional CV Writer UK: Bespoke CV Writing for Managers & Senior Professionals
“Working with Tracey is an absolute pleasure. She has a fantastic ability to read your old CV, ask the right questions, understand your objectives and design a CV that reflects your best skills, capabilities and experiences in ways you have never considered. My CV now explains who I am rather than what I did.
I can’t recommend her enough.”
Elevate your authority
You're good at what you do. You've put in the years, built the experience, and taken on increasing responsibility. But if you're honest about it, your CV hasn't kept up — and you're not sure where to start.
That's where I come in.
I work with senior professionals and managers across all sectors to build CVs that genuinely reflect their experience, their achievements, and where they want to go next.
Is this you...?
➡️ You feel like your CV doesn't articulate the real you any more — it lists what you've done, but not what you've actually delivered?
➡️ You're modest, or an introvert, and find it genuinely hard to write about yourself with confidence?
➡️ You've been promoted through the ranks over the years and never really needed a strong CV — until now?
➡️ You haven't updated it properly in years, and it shows?
Read on for full details of what I do, how I do it and why you should work with me…
Or here’s the TL;DR summary:
✅ Bespoke, authentic CVs crafted from the ground up through a personalised approach — nothing outsourced, nothing AI-generated
✅ A genuine focus on your achievements and potential, not just your responsibilities
✅ Up to 1.5 hours of 1:1 Zoom consultation to draw out what makes you stand out
✅ Optional add-ons for LinkedIn, covering letters and interview coaching
✅ Prices from £450 for managers; £650 for senior professionals and heads of function, with preferential rates for ex-armed forces personnel
CV writing that reflects your true value
I have over 30 years of senior leadership experience across finance, IT, project management, health and safety, and general business management — including 17 years in NHS management. I have hired extensively at manager and senior manager level, and I understand what makes a CV stand out to the people making the decisions.
I don't simply paste your CV into a template and make a few tweaks.
I create a new CV with every line optimised, powerful new content added, and less relevant content scaled right back. Through my process, I get to know you properly — asking the right questions, drawing out the things you've undersold, and writing a CV that sounds like you wrote it yourself.
My focus is setting you apart. I find the nuggets of gold in your career history, and I present them in a way that gives you the confidence to go for the roles you deserve.
My specialist CV writing service is for you, if:
✮ You're a manager or senior professional — from middle management through to heads of function and senior managers
✮ You're modest, possibly an introvert, and don't feel comfortable writing about your own achievements
✮ Your CV no longer reflects your experience, your direction, or your full potential
✮ You struggle to sell yourself on paper and just don't know where to start
✮ You've been out of the jobseeking world for a long time and your CV is tired and out of touch
✮ You just don't have the time, inclination or confidence to spend hours trying to improve it yourself
✮ You need a confidence boost from an experienced, objective outsider who can make you shine
✮ You're looking to change career or industry and need help to identify and promote transferable skills
✮ You're a service leaver wanting to translate your experience into the corporate world
✮ You're relocating to the UK and need a CV that reflects your experience and meets UK requirements
✮ You see working with a fellow professional as a long-term investment, not a quick fix
“I couldn’t recommend Tracey enough, her approach was collaborative, helpful and informative. Tracey managed to unpack my career and articulate it in a simple and professional way. She deep dived into my career, called to ask questions and took me on the journey to ensure the information was correct.
What is normally a very stressful process was made smooth and pleasant. ”
You get…
✮ EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF YOUR CV REVIEWED AND REFRESHED IN DETAIL — by me, not an outsourced freelancer, focusing on what sets you apart from other candidates
✮ A BESPOKE PROFILE STATEMENT describing your key skills, achievements and motivations — the essence of you
✮ PROMINENT DEMONSTRATION OF SKILLS to highlight your technical and professional added value in the context of your achievements — no generic "good communicator" statements here
✮ KEY ACHIEVEMENTS focused on real, quantifiable outcomes wherever possible
✮ AUTHENTIC WRITING — I get to know you by asking the right questions, so that I can articulate who you really are and write the CV as if you wrote it yourself
✮ CLARITY AND FOCUS — enhancing relevant content, reducing the fluff, and emphasising your future direction
✮ A NEW LAYOUT tailored to the professional market, providing clarity and impact
✮ 1:1 ZOOM CONSULTATION — up to 1 hour for managers, up to 1.5 hours for senior professionals — drawing out key information to help me understand you, your achievements and your aspirations, so I can target your CV and present you in the best possible way
✮ YOUR NEW CV IN WORD FORMAT so that you can update it yourself going forward, using the same style
✮ A STRONG CV that should see you through the next few iterations of your career with only minor updates
✮ OPTIONAL ADD-ONS including LinkedIn profile writing, covering letters and interview coaching, alongside future support as you move forward
I aim to be a true partner in your career journey
“Tracey was very, very good. Approachable, professional, insightful, and very talented at highlighting the salient portions of my experience in an elegant and concise fashion. I can’t recommend her more highly.”
LinkedIn™ profiles
There are many aspects to LinkedIn™ that can be leveraged to improve your visibility to potential employers, enhance your professional brand and grow your network.
Whilst your LinkedIn™ profile should be based on your CV - after all, your career journey is your career journey - I don’t do a simple ‘copy and paste’. I create individual, polished profiles, based on your CV yet making the most of the features of LinkedIn™ to elevate your visibility and authority in your industry.
Stand out with a new professional profile and use LinkedIn to your advantage.
I'll update your LinkedIn™ profile in the following ways:
✮ Your entire profile will be reviewed and updated – aligning the content with your new CV to refresh and supercharge your professional brand
✮ Your new profile will include the right salient points and keywords throughout, making use of relevant LinkedIn™ sections and ‘tweaks’ to boost your visibility and authority
✮ ALL relevant elements of your profile - not just the ‘About’ and ‘Experience’ sections - will be optimised for searchability and SEO, increasing the chances of you being found by recruiters from both inside and outside of LinkedIn™
✮ I'll bring your profile to life – including any relevant information to describe your professional journey, which I will have drawn out during our CV consultation(s)
✮ You'll be able to choose from several new, bespoke banner images that I’ll create to help your profile stand out, be visually appealing and highlight your specialisms and expertise
✮ To build your network and keep your profile optimised – I'll recommend any additional actions you can take to maintain your profile going forward
According to a white paper by Robert Walters Specialist Professional Recruitment, 64% of recruiting managers say they have viewed a jobseeker’s professional social network profile (such as LinkedIn™) at some point as part of the recruitment process.
Can you afford NOT to have a standout LinkedIn™ profile?
“Tracey helped to extract the ‘good stuff’ and document this on my LinkedIn™ profile. She exceeded my expectations with her output and I would highly recommend using Tracey for LinkedIn™ profiles.”

“I highly recommend Tracey and her work. We completed a thorough and engaging 90 minute interview and she really got to know me. This translated perfectly in my CV and she even identified things in my work history that I hadn’t even realised were there (like I’d been headhunted twice!). I feel so confident with my new CV it has given me a renewed enthusiasm for job searching. If you want the same then I would definitely recommend reaching out to Tracey.”
*I quote for CVs on an individual basis depending on the amount of work involved aligned with your career level. I don’t give discounts (other than for armed service personnel) or negotiate on price.
** Interview coaching as a standalone service (without a full CV rewrite) is £300.
