Return Plan

A week-by-week path from leave end to settled hours

This page shows how Return-to-Work Planning unfolds when childcare, employer talks, and applications all compete for the same calendar.

Week 0

Intake

We collect leave end dates, household hours, income needs, and whether you are returning to the same employer or searching elsewhere. You leave this call knowing which consultation depth fits — full plan, document review only, or a single employer prep block.

Week 1

Constraints & role fit

Skills inventory mapped to vacancy language you can actually sustain. We discard titles that look good on paper but clash with pickup times or recovery after a night of illness.

Week 2–3

Employer or application track

Either a rehearsed return conversation with coverage proposals, or a shortlist of roles with revised Lebenslauf and Anschreiben. You choose the track; we do not run both at full intensity unless the timeline truly requires it.

Week 4+

Written plan & 90-day checklist

A document your partner can read: dates, scripts, buffers for Kita closures, and a six-to-eight week review point with your manager or yourself if you changed employers.

Most clients begin twelve to eight weeks before leave ends. Shorter timelines are possible; we will say honestly what can still be finished.
