Support by job coach

Do you run a company in the Netherlands and do you employ a sick or disabled person who needs coaching? Or do you offer a potential employee a trial placement? You can apply for a subsidy to use a job coach. The job coach will help your employee with their introduction and training, and supports them in the workplace for a period of up to 3 years.

When do you qualify?

You can only request a subsidy for an internal jobcoach if the Employee Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen, UWV) agrees that the employee requires support due to their disease or handicap to do their work. Your employee must also:

• have a contract for at least 6 months
• work at least 12 hours a week
• earn at least 35% of the minimum wage

How to apply?

You submit your application for a job coach (in Dutch) to the Employee Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen, UWV).
