Job Agreement Coordinator

What are you going to do?

Make inclusive employment a reality

The Province of Utrecht is committed to an inclusive workforce and aims to comply with the national agreements reached under the Job Agreement. We believe that everyone who is willing and able to work deserves the opportunity to participate and contribute. As Job Agreement Coordinator, you will connect candidates, teams, and policy, and ensure the sustainable placement and support of individuals listed in the Target Group Registry.

As the Jobs Pact Coordinator, you will be the driving force behind the implementation of the Jobs Pact within the Province of Utrecht. Specifically:

• You will coordinate the recruitment, matching, and placement of employees from the Target Group Registry. You will proactively assess the candidate’s talents and focus on what is possible.
• You organize and provide appropriate on-the-job support through buddies, training, job coaches, and workplace accommodations.
• You will identify promising job openings in collaboration with both internal teams and external partners; you will work with the organization to create an internal pool of job openings and ensure that it remains up to date. In doing so, you will apply job carving or task redistribution as needed to ensure that jobs are a good fit.
• You will initiate, maintain, and coordinate collaboration between candidates, teams, managers, job coaches, external partners (UWV/WSP, staffing agencies), and other relevant stakeholders.
• You will be responsible for monitoring: you will collect quantitative and qualitative data on enrollment, retention, satisfaction, and effectiveness. In collaboration with the policy advisor, you will provide input for improvement proposals.
• You provide advice on and manage the financial framework: budgets, the use of programs (such as wage subsidies, no-risk policies, and workplace accommodations), and the allocation of resources to facilitate new placements.
• You will increase the visibility of inclusive employment practices both within and outside the organization through communication, presentations, and sharing success stories.
