Returning to work

How does it work?

There are several ways we can help you.

Education

You can receive training at a school that takes your children's school hours into account. Sometimes they even offer childcare. You can also take the training part-time.

Financial assistance

You can apply for financial assistance to cover costs related to your return to work. The amount you receive depends on your income.

Contribution to childcare costs

You can apply for childcare allowance at the Tax and Customs Administration. The municipality may also contribute to the costs of childcare, for example if you are on a low income.

Work

You can search for work yourself. For example, through advertisements in the newspaper, at the UWV, at employment agencies, via the internet, or through your own network. You can also re-enter the labor market if you get a subsidized job or do volunteer work.

Job coach

A job coach helps people with physical, mental, or psychological disabilities find or keep a job if they are unable to do so without support. This means that you will only receive support from a job coach if it is necessary.

A job coach can support you in your tasks at fixed times over a longer period. The aim is that you will eventually be able to work for a regular employer without supervision.
