Career Coaching

Career Coaching

As the system is under significant pressure with high levels of uncertainty and possible changes on the horizon for many colleagues within the wider NHS family, we have created a new cohort of coaches offering “Career Coaching” for targeted support for those wishing to explore what the next step in their career may be and how to get there.

Many people need help to manage their career at some point in their life.

What is Career Coaching?

Our cohort of Career Coaches will be providing careers coaching for those seeking to work with change and plan and develop their careers.  The coaching is individual, confidential and impartial careers coaching with career coaches.

For those new to coaching, it is a way of using questioning and inquiry to help people unlock their full potential to achieve personal and professional success. The coaching will be in a confidential environment where it feels safe to share vulnerabilities and issues that might otherwise inhibit progress.

Our Coaches are qualified and accredited to ILM 5 or equivalent.    

What topics can I bring to coaching?

Every coachee has their own unique challenges. This cohort of coaches will be offering support through:

  • exploration of career goals,
  • identification of strengths, skills, values or interests and
  • the creation of a development plan to achieve career aspirations/ find a new job/ advance within a chosen field or to use transferrable skills to make a lateral move.

Who is it for?

All NHS health and care staff working in the South East. You will be either employed by the NHS or working with an NHS funded employer delivering NHS funded care in clinical or non-clinical roles.
