Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
Outplacement in Leeuwarden starts with the question of whether you are staying in Friesland. If you stay, you choose from a smaller market and therefore need to know it better than average; if you look beyond it, commuting or relocating comes into view. That weighing belongs at the start, because everything after it depends on the answer. An introductory meeting is free of charge.
Why the phases sit in exactly this order is explained on what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Leeuwarden?
Our approach in 5 steps
Five steps that build on each other, three to six months together. That is the respect in which an outplacement programme is unlike a piece of stray advice.
Many people opt for a modular programme: together with your coach you decide where to put the effort. Here you will find our modules.
Personal intake
Are you staying, and if so why? That answer bounds the market we search in.
Coaching and assessment
Where are you good, and which part of that would an employer who does not know your organisation recognise?
Preparing for the market
Your profile is written for a reader who does not know you, even when the city is small.
Job search and network
In a compact market speaking to people beats writing to them. We prepare that per organisation.
Aftercare and support
You are working somewhere and we remain in the picture for as long as the decision has yet to prove itself.
Four routes from current employment towards what comes next
When outplacement is used
The trigger determines how much is already known. From there, we identify the choices still needed to move forward.
Reorganisation makes you redundant
If your internal position disappears, we redirect your professional profile towards roles and employers outside the organisation.
Your fixed-term agreement approaches its end
The period before departure can be used to explore direction and develop an effective search strategy.
Employer and employee jointly arrange departure
A settlement can also contain professional support for preparing the next career phase.
Returning after absence is no longer the perspective
If employment ends, we help define a new direction that suits your present circumstances.
Outplacement in Leeuwarden
From work to work, inside or beyond the province
Elsewhere moving house is a detail; here it is a chapter. Staying in Friesland means choosing from a smaller market and therefore knowing it better; leaving means commuting or relocating. That decision belongs at the front.
We know the Frisian employers first hand
The hospital, the province, the insurers and the municipalities. Where the market is small, the person you get talking to matters more than the number of applications you post. More on that: networking to find work.
Keeping it quiet is possible
In a province with short lines, news travels. For as long as you want it that way, we enquire with employers without a name being mentioned.
The bill sits with your employer
The arrangement on that belongs in writing in the social plan or in your termination agreement. Have an expert read it through before you sign: having your settlement agreement reviewed.
After your first working day too
Certainly if you chose between staying and leaving, you want to know the choice was right. For as long as that plays out you can reach your guide.
What you are working towards
You chose deliberately whether to stay, and found work that matches that choice.
Who guides you
Who guides you at the Polluxweg
At the Polluxweg sits a coach who knows healthcare, government and the insurers in Fryslân, and how small the circle of decision-makers here is. That helps with the question that belongs at the start: do you stay in the province or not. The same coach stays involved until after you start, on location or by video.
Our office
Outplacement 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.
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.
The region at a glance
The labour market in Leeuwarden
This province leans on healthcare, on government and on financial services, while the tightness sits mainly with healthcare, IT and engineering. The compact market cuts both ways: fewer vacancies, but also fewer people applying for the same one.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
Do I need to speak Frisian to get work here?
Necessary it rarely is, useful it often is. In healthcare, education and at municipalities Frisian is widely spoken and understanding it helps how quickly you belong. If you do not speak it, that closes almost no doors; it is an advantage, not a requirement.
The market is small. Is searching here worthwhile?
Certainly, and the smaller scale also works in your favour. There are fewer vacancies, but there are also fewer candidates and the route to the decision maker is shorter. What counts more here than elsewhere is speaking to the right people rather than sending the most letters. The breakdown is on what an outplacement programme costs.
Who pays for this?
Your employer, barring exceptions. Count on an amount between 2,000 and 5,000 euros, VAT excluded. How many building blocks you use and how many months you run decide the outcome together, and it is in the quotation before anything goes in the diary. Before we start you know the figure attached.
Can I combine this with remote work?
You can, and it changes the picture considerably. Employers in the Randstad now hire people who work largely from home, which widens your market without a move. We include that category as standard if you are open to it.
When can we start?
Five to seven working days after the assignment is signed you can get going. Whatever you send us gets an answer that same day, or otherwise the day after.
We are registering several employees at once. Do they get the same?
No. One wants to stay here at all costs and another is looking at the Randstad, and that asks for an entirely different plan. Together with their coach, each employee puts together their own combination of modules. More explanation is at the modules of the programme.
