Second-Track Reintegration
Reintegration office in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel
The Zuidas is ten minutes away, with law, consultancy and finance round the corner. It is precisely in that work that the company doctor tends to limit what the job demanded. We guide the search for a sustainable role from the Kerkstraat and keep the file ready for the UWV's review.

About second-track reintegration
The same profession at a different intensity
When the original role does not return and nothing suitable is available internally, the second track begins to run. It starts with establishing what remains possible; capacity is then raised, and approaching employers closes the sequence. How those stages are built up is described at the second track programme.
On top of the statutory obligation, the nature of the work matters here. In law, consultancy and finance the load sits in long days, in deadlines and in ultimate responsibility for clients. Where the company doctor limits exactly those elements, the profession usually remains possible, but in a role with a different title and often a different salary.
Our office
Second-track reintegration in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and nearby
Our Ouderkerk aan de Amstel location sits on Kerkstraat, by the river and ten minutes from the Zuidas. Professional services, finance and healthcare supply most of the work here, and many residents work in Amsterdam or Amstelveen. What steers a search here is not so much what someone can do, but how they relate to the months in which nothing is settled yet: one person sharpens up, another freezes.
About Ouderkerk aan de Amstel
Good to know about Ouderkerk aan de Amstel
The Zuidas is ten minutes away
Law, consultancy, finance and the head offices sit literally round the corner. That is a market with plenty of movement and high pay, but also with procedures lasting months in which you hear nothing at all.
A village on city incomes
Ouderkerk counts around eight thousand inhabitants and most people work elsewhere. That makes the local network socially strong and professionally thin: your neighbours know you, but not your trade.
Amstelveen, Amsterdam and Schiphol close by
Amstelveen lies five minutes away, Amsterdam ten and Schiphol a quarter of an hour. Few places give this much reach, and that shortens the time you spend without work considerably.
Kerkstraat, by the Amstel
Parking is available in the village and the bus to Amsterdam-Zuid gets you there quickly. Anyone preferring not to travel does the programme from intake to aftercare entirely on video.
What the programme looks like
From intake to aftercare, step by step
Set out one after another, these six stages form the second track programme. The series does not alter, the content differs per employee, and the Gatekeeper Improvement Act determines how everything is recorded.
Intake meeting and situation overview
The first conversation has to establish which element gave way: the hours, the peaks or the responsibility. In professional services that is rarely the same answer. The medical opinion, the previous positions and the employee's own preference come in alongside, and together they produce an action plan meeting the requirements.
Capacity analysis & occupational health assessment
What is still possible is then substantiated in writing. The FML and the supporting papers show what work remains, with consecutive hours, peak load and ultimate responsibility weighed separately. That conclusion is what the reintegration plan aims at, and the parties hear of it monthly.
Career scan & personal coaching
The employee then comes into view. Tests, assignments and conversations make visible where their strength lies and what pace goes with it, producing a profile reaching further than their previous title.
Labour market exploration & job matching
With that profile we go to the market. Services, finance and healthcare recruit from Amstelveen to Amsterdam, and Schiphol joins in if the employee wants to look that way. Where the new role sits too far from the old, a practical period precedes it.
Active job search & network approach
The employee now approaches organisations themselves, including where nothing is open. Because the professional network lies outside the village, we first work out who is where. Each week we look at what the contacts produced.
Aftercare and sustainable placement
Finally, two months of aftercare. They make clear whether the new pace is sustainable and whether the role suits in practice. Reporting and the final report rest with the coach, who stays contactable through those weeks.
Where the programme begins
Four points this programme rests on
At review it is the record that counts, not the effort nobody sees. These four points make the difference.
Which element exactly has been limited?
The occupational health assessment splits the load: the number of consecutive hours, the peak moments and carrying ultimate responsibility. Often one of those three is the sticking point rather than the field itself.
Does the role exist one level down?
Within the same discipline there are positions without client responsibility or without peak weeks. That can be suitable work even if title and salary move with it, provided the reasoning is written down.
Where is the professional network?
The neighbourhood network here is socially strong but professionally thin: colleagues are in Amsterdam or Amstelveen. Map who works where before anyone knocks on a door.
Where is capacity built up?
In a working environment, not at home behind a screen. A period in a work experience placement shows which pace is sustainable and produces evidence.
A sustainable next step
The employee is in a role at a pace they can keep up, and the file shows why that role is suitable.
Business services, finance and healthcare
Why employers in Ouderkerk and along the Amstel work with us
Business services, finance and healthcare supply most of the work here, and many residents work in Amsterdam or Amstelveen. Absence in that corner rarely comes from one task; it is the accumulation that makes it unsustainable.
The Zuidas ten minutes away
Law, consultancy, finance and head offices are literally round the corner. It is a market with plenty of movement and high pay, but also a pace that is not automatically achievable during a build-up.
A village on urban incomes
Ouderkerk has around eight thousand residents and most of them work elsewhere. Socially you know everyone; professionally your network is outside the municipality, and that determines where an approach makes sense.
Amstelveen, Amsterdam and Schiphol close by
Amstelveen is five minutes away, Amsterdam ten and Schiphol fifteen. Few places offer such reach, though travel time counts towards what a day can bear.
Recording happens on the day
Every conversation and every result is noted with the date. Nothing needs adding afterwards.
Questions from Ouderkerk and the surrounding area
What employers here put to us
How do we determine the right starting point?
Around the first-year evaluation it is assessed whether second-track reintegration should be started alongside first-track efforts; if the company doctor establishes earlier that the original role lapses, you begin there. With absence caused by workload that counts heavily, because building up then goes in small steps. Stage by stage, the duration is described at the duration of a second track programme.
How is the programme fee determined?
That follows from the duration and from the components deployed. Placement on its own is limited; add assessment, coaching and a practical period and the figure rises with it. Before the first appointment is made, the composition is on the table.
Our employee wants the same level back. Is that possible?
It depends on what exactly has been limited. If it is the hours or the peaks, the same profession is often possible in another form; if it is the ultimate responsibility, returning to that level becomes harder. We establish what remains and record that outcome with reasons.
What travel distance is taken into account?
As far as capacity reaches. Amstelveen, Amsterdam-Zuid, Aalsmeer, Uithoorn, Abcoude and Diemen are close by and Schiphol is fifteen minutes. What the area becomes, we settle beforehand.
