UWV Job Coaching: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how personal coaching can help people with health issues or disabilities find and maintain suitable work in the Netherlands.
This scheme provides personal guidance to individuals who need extra help finding or staying in a job due to health challenges.
Who it's for
This support is designed for people living in the Netherlands who have disabilities or health issues that make working more difficult. It is specifically for those who need extra assistance to integrate into a workplace.
What you get
You are assigned a personal coach who works with you to help you navigate the job market and settle into a work environment. Their role is to provide the specific support you need to manage your professional life alongside your health needs.
What it costs you
While the coaching itself is a support service, you will need to undergo a medical assessment to prove that you require this level of assistance.
The catch to know
It is important to remember that your coach is often provided by an outside agency rather than directly by the government body.
How to apply
- Contact the relevant government employment agency to discuss your situation.
- Complete a medical assessment to determine your level of need.
- Work with the agency to be matched with a suitable coach.
