Two paths back into work

After parental leave

Back into your job, part-time or into something new

Together we clarify what fits with your work and your family life, and plan your return so that it fits your everyday life.

After a longer illness

Getting back on your feet, at your own pace

For women who want to return to work after a mental, chronic or other prolonged illness. Together we look at what you feel able to take on, how many hours you would like to start with and how you explain the time in your CV and in interviews.

Contact person: Ursula Pichler

Coaching is not therapy and does not replace treatment. Health questions are for you to clarify with your doctors or therapists.

Good to know

Income 61 %

Children cost mothers in Germany a lot of income

Five to ten years after their first child, mothers in Germany earn around 61 percent less than would be expected without a child, while fathers earn practically the same. A large part of this is due to fewer working hours.

For you: Part-time as a way back in is normal. But plan to increase your hours again later.
