Offices that help you find work in the Netherlands

Compare UWV and municipal job centres in your city

Some cities have a UWV Werkplein where you can walk in on weekdays, while others see people only by appointment or point you to a municipal job centre. Whether you should call or book first, and what to bring, depends on the office.

    Office website+31 53 481 81 81

    For a useful conversation, prepare your question, work and education history and a CV if you have one. Explain whether you want help with applications, training or finding the appropriate organisation. Ask the adviser which documents are needed for any subsequent application. A request through the contact form asks for follow-up; it is not completed jobseeker registration or a benefit claim.
