I say I have no game plan.
I will be taking a couple of months off, then actively look for something - I'm not fussed what, something in my current line of work would be good but I'd happily stack shelves for a bit; practically anything but go back to working in a Jobcentre.

If, after about six months nothing came up I'd consider starting a small business.

Oooo!
Your skills are quite transferable aren't they?

Reasonably.
The only thing is my line of work is pretty dependant on public funding for grants, so...

Fair comment
although I can't help but smile at the irony of taking redundancy from a Jobcentre!

I don't work in a Jobcentre anymore
which was my point - I used to and it was the most miserable experience of my life, hence why I wouldn't go back.

Oh I see
Sorry. Makes sense now.

Doing any sort of job is for the best
When a good opportunity comes up recruiters won't take too kindly to anyone who says "I've spent six months sitting on my arse watching Jeremy Kyle."

Temporary clerical work can often lead to something better anyway if you prove yourself.
