What is Career Coaching
Career coaching is the process of an individual engaging with another person (a coach) for the purpose of gaining support to reach their career goals and full potential. Career Coaches help individuals navigate a whole range of scenarios, including:
Re-entering the workforce
Navigating career transitions
Assist with career planning, goals setting and professional development goals
Explore options to upskill or reskill
Gaining clarity on career development, or navigating dissatisfaction with current roles
Finding purpose in your role, or rediscovering your passion for your profession
Finding work-life balance, and setting appropriate work boundaries
Helping with career advice
Assistance with CV writing, interview skills and job applications
For Allied Health professionals specifically, the current jobs market and range of opportunities available is very different to 5 or 10 years ago. The advent of the NDIS has changed the demand for specific skill-sets substantially, and resulted in experienced clinicians and graduates alike from disciplines such as Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Physiotherapy and Psychology taking very different career trajectories. The evolution of the NDIS market is happening quickly, and the advent of aged care reform is likely to contribute to even greater change.
Navigating all of the options available, and assessing competing priorities such as remuneration, clinical skill development, career progression and work-life balance can be challenging. Many may be weighing moving from the public sector to the private for the first time, or vice versa, or even considering working privately for themselves.
A chat with a career coach can help you develop clarity over your own priorities in the immediate, and how to achieve your medium and longer term professional goals.
