Job search assistance

Would you like to work, but don't know exactly what possibilities there are? Or could you use support in this? We look at your possibilities and provide the right guidance, so that benefits are no longer necessary. 

Job seeker registration

If you are not yet registered with the UWV you must first register via the website of werk.nl. For this you need DigiD. After your registration, you will receive an e-mail confirming your registration within 48 hours. 

WSP Parkstad and WerkvoorHeerlen

WSP Parkstad is the counter of the municipality of Heerlen for job search assistance. They help you find paid work with personal attention and guidance. During a personal interview, they first examine what your possibilities are. Does the interview reveal that you can be placed immediately? Then WSP Parkstad will look for a suitable job. 

Are you having a little more trouble finding a suitable job or do you not yet have the right work experience? Then look at whether, for example, a pathway from WerkvoorHeerlen through the Upper Vocational School is possible. Interested? Then already take a look at the WerkvoorHeerlen website . 

Personal contact

For a personal interview, contact WSP Parkstad: tel. 045-5666600. Have you applied for a Social assistance benefit? Then WSP Parkstad will contact you. 

You may also receive WhatsApp messages from the municipality if you are receiving benefits. With these messages we inform you about job opportunities. The phone number we use to send messages is 045-5604200 and the sender is Gemeente Heerlen. This number also allows you as a job seeker to send messages to the municipality.
