Career Coaching

Returning to work following leave, sickness or maternity?

Whether it’s new year and a new start feeling, or just time for a change, the start of a new year often brings a sense of renewal and reflection. For many, it’s a time to set goals and evaluate what’s truly important. Since returning to work you may have realised something is unsettling you and your current job no longer feels right for you.

This realisation can be daunting, but it’s a positive and an opportunity to reflect on what you want.

Here are a few steps to help you navigate this pivotal moment:

1. Reflect on Why It’s Not Working

Ask yourself what’s causing your dissatisfaction. Is it the role itself, the company culture, package, or a lack of growth opportunities? Understanding the root of the issue can clarify your next steps.

2. Define What You Want

Consider what you’re looking for in your career. Whether it’s more challenging work, a better work-life balance, or a complete change in direction. Setting clear goals will help you to streamline your next move.

3. Reach out to a Career Coach or experienced Recruiter who can help you navigate the recruitment market challenges and help you during your job search.
