Career coaching: professional guidance for your career
What is career coaching?
Expect four to six sessions with one coach across a few months. The gaps are for collecting information and trying ideas, which is where you learn what holds. See the career programme for the course.
In a compact labour market it pays to search precisely rather than broadly. So we spend time on which organisations genuinely suit you, and on the handful of people worth speaking to before you apply anywhere. That preparation usually shortens the search more than a longer list of vacancies would.

Career coaching in Leeuwarden and nearby
Our Leeuwarden location sits on Polluxweg, on the business estate at the west side. Healthcare, government and financial services keep this city running, with the hospital, the province and several insurers as the largest names. Anyone losing their job here faces one question that rarely comes up elsewhere: do you stay in Friesland or not. Which way that goes decides the size of the market we search in.
Healthcare, government and financial services keep Leeuwarden running, with the hospital, the province and several insurers as the largest names. It is a compact market in which people know one another quickly, and that changes the way you prepare a step. That is usually where the conversation begins.
About Leeuwarden
Good to know about Leeuwarden
A small market where everyone knows everyone
The number of large employers is limited and the lines between them are short. Pleasant if you have a good name, awkward if you want to look around quietly; the latter needs a different approach.
Frisian on the floor, Dutch on paper
If language plays a role in a particular job or organisation, we include that in your search profile. The starting point remains the knowledge, experience and communication skills required for the role.
Groningen and Zwolle an hour away
Looking beyond the province here quickly means commuting or moving. That makes staying a heavier choice than in the Randstad, where the next city is round the corner.
Polluxweg, at the west side
The site has plenty of parking, and from the station it is a few minutes by car. Doing it all remotely works too, from introduction to aftercare.
A small field works both ways
A recommendation lands quickly here and searching discreetly takes more care. We match the approach to that.
Large employers, many different roles
Inside a hospital or a province, delivery, policy, support and projects sit side by side. A move need not mean leaving the organisation.
Staying, or looking beyond Friesland
Groningen and Zwolle are about an hour away, which makes a daily journey a genuine choice. That weighing-up belongs early in the programme.
What does career coaching at Care4Careers look like?
From overview to a focused step
Where we dwell longest follows from your question.
The order usually looks like this.
Intake meeting
An opening meeting about your situation and whether coaching fits it. At the Polluxweg or by video, free of charge.
Who am I? Why do I work? What can I do?
Your experience, your skills and your way of working come onto the table, including what was never recorded.
What do I want?
You settle which role you are after and whether you stay within the region. A <a href="/en/kenniscentrum/loopbaanbegeleiding/gratis-loopbaantest">career test</a> brings extra information.
Drawing up a plan of action
It names matching roles, suitable organisations and the sequence to follow.
Realising the Next Step
You get to work and discuss with your coach what has to be adjusted along the way.
What you are working towards
You have settled on a role and on whether the search stays inside Friesland.

What people in Leeuwarden bring to us
These four come up most.
Continuing within the same organisation
At large employers there is often more possible than is visible from within. What fits we work out together. Closer explanation at what sort of work fits you.
Looking around discreetly
In a small market you would rather your search did not travel. We work so that you decide who knows what, and we go over in advance which conversations can be held safely and which are better postponed until you have made up your mind.
From delivery into policy or projects
Anyone who knows the work can also organise or improve it. Which skills come with that we map out. Closer explanation at a career switch.
Knowing where you stand
Judging that is hard when there is little to compare yourself with. A career scan provides that overview.
Your role is cut
With a forced departure, outplacement is the better fit.
If your employer organises and funds the guidance towards other work, that is outplacement.
If no departure is in question, your own question sets the content, and the pace is yours to choose as well.
Who guides you
Career coaches at the Polluxweg
The programme runs with one person from beginning to end. There is parking on site, and the conversations can run entirely digitally.
