Career coaching: professional guidance for your career
What is career coaching?
With us you see one coach a number of times, two to three weeks apart. You use those weeks to test what was discussed, for instance by speaking to someone doing the work you are considering. At the career programme you find the structure.
What you built up in part-time work counts in full, even if it does not read as full-time years on your CV. We reduce that experience to skills and look at which roles connect with them.

Career coaching in Hoorn and nearby
Which sectors are relevant to you depends on your experience and the direction in which you want to search. We therefore start with your profile rather than a general list of employers.
In West-Friesland many people work in healthcare, trade and professional services, and a large share of them do so part time. Career questions here are therefore rarely about content alone: the number of days, the rota and the travel weigh just as much. In the conversations we bring those sides together into one decision.
About Hoorn
Good to know about Hoorn
Healthcare here runs largely on part time
The hospital and the institutions in the area work with rotas in which three or four days is the norm. Leaving there and searching full time changes more than just your employer.
Seed breeding here is world class
Between Hoorn and Enkhuizen sits a cluster of breeding companies that counts internationally. That produces work in laboratories, cultivation, logistics and administration, including without an agricultural background.
Amsterdam thirty-five minutes away
The train runs directly to Sloterdijk and Zuid. For someone working three days that is a different calculation from someone travelling five, and we count it in.
Lepelaar, at the west side
Cars fit in front of the building; anyone taking the train is there with a short bus ride. The programme can also run entirely at a distance.
Part time is the norm here, not the exception
A next step does not automatically mean more hours. We look at which size suits you and which roles exist at that size, rather than adapting you to the first vacancy.
From carrying out to organising
Scheduling, coordinating, safeguarding quality: such tasks call for different skills than the work itself, while building on it. Whether that direction suits you is something we settle before you apply.
Leaving the sector is not required
Often the pinch sits in the role or the team rather than in the field. Drawing that distinction saves an unnecessary move.
What does career coaching at Care4Careers look like?
From weighing up to choosing
What we go into depends on where your question sits.
The steps below give the usual order.
Intake meeting
You put your question to us and together we weigh whether a programme belongs with it. At the Lepelaar or by video.
Who am I? Why do I work? What can I do?
We map your experience, strengths and motivations, with attention for what you built up in practice.
What do I want?
You decide what you are after in content, hours and rota. Sometimes we bring in a <a href="/en/kenniscentrum/loopbaanbegeleiding/gratis-loopbaantest">career test</a>.
Drawing up a plan of action
The chosen direction gets a plan: fitting roles, missing pieces and the point where you start.
Realising the Next Step
You actually take it, with the coach as a backstop while the new situation settles.
What you are working towards
You know the direction you are choosing and the number of days that comes with it.
What people put to us
Questions from Hoorn and the area
These four subjects come up most often.
Working more hours, or fewer
A different number of days changes your income, your rhythm and sometimes the content of your role. We work those consequences through before you raise it. On which work would suit you you can read more.
Doing something else within healthcare
From the floor into planning, quality or training: the same sector with a different kind of work. We explore which of those directions suits you.
Using your experience beyond your sector
Planning, coordinating and handling pressure exist everywhere. A career scan shows what is there.
Doubt that will not go away
Sometimes the question has been simmering for years without anything going acutely wrong. That is exactly when there is room to look calmly. Further reading: changing jobs.
When leaving is on the table
With a contract coming to an end, outplacement is the more obvious route.
If your contract is ending and your employer reimburses guidance towards other work, outplacement fits better. Which form belongs with you comes up in the first conversation.
Where that is not the case, the question of which direction you choose yourself remains the starting point.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about career coaching in Hoorn
How often do I speak to the coach?
Four to six is common, with a few weeks between appointments. A sharply defined question needs fewer. Another page covers what the career coach does.
What does a programme cost?
From 1,000 euros excluding VAT, rising with the scope. See the cost of career coaching for the amounts. The introductory conversation is free.
Will my employer reimburse this?
That occurs regularly, for instance through a budget for training or development. Ask your employer what is possible in your case.
Can I come if I work part time?
Yes, and here that is the rule rather than the exception. The hours you work are part of the question, not a limitation.
Do I need to take time off?
Usually not. Yes, that goes through online career coaching.
Where is Care4Careers in Hoorn?
Lepelaar 6, 1628 CZ Hoorn, on the estate at the west side. Announce your visit and we will put a coach on it.

Can I do coaching alongside irregular shifts?
Yes. We plan the appointments in consultation and alternate with video calls, so a changing rota need not be a reason to wait.
