Flexibility is the key to re-entry
Prior to her career break, Rahel worked full-time in retail, but was eager for a new challenge in healthcare. After her break, she completed her nursing assistant training and used Coople to start her new career. She planned her shifts to gain experience gradually, working her way up to occasionally working up to 100 % at various companies. This experience has strengthened her professional network and given her valuable insights into different healthcare settings.
Rahel chose to work with Coople because it gives her the flexibility to work shifts when it suits her. In two years’ time, she plans to start training to become a graduated nurse. The flexibility of working for different institutions and meeting new people is what makes temporary work so appealing to her. Some employers have even offered her a permanent position, but she likes the freedom to choose her own hours and location.
A win-win for employees and employers
Today, Rahel uses Coople as a long-term solution to balance her career and personal goals. Employers also benefit from temporary workers like Rahel, who bring fresh perspectives, enrich teams and can adapt flexibly to the needs of the business. Successful collaboration works best when employers provide good organisation and structured induction to help contractors feel integrated and ready to contribute.
