Student jobs at the weekend
A student job in Belgium that runs at the weekend fits around your timetable. You work Saturdays, Sundays or both, and you keep your weekdays for lectures and study. We arrange your contract, your Dimona declaration and your pay.
On weekdays you are in class, at the weekend you get to work. You help customers by phone, chat or at reception, get cars ready for a mobility company or prepare holiday homes for new guests. You choose Saturday, Sunday or both, and you earn throughout the academic year. Starters are welcome. Signing up is free and takes one minute.
Why the weekend
Weekend work fits alongside your classes. You earn across the whole academic year, on top of the summer, and you spread your 650 hours over twelve months.
You also build experience with one employer, rather than through a string of holiday jobs. On your CV that shows you keep up work and study together.
Good to know
The hourly rate is always shown in each vacancy. What you earn exactly depends on your age and on the sector you work in, because every sector sets its own wage scales through its joint committee. Through us, you get the same pay and working conditions as comparable employees at the company where you work.
If you work on Sundays or in the evening, the collective agreement of the company’s joint committee sets the premium. That premium therefore differs by sector.
Since the Act of 10 April 2025 you may work 650 hours per calendar year on a student employment contract, and that quota is permanent, according to the NSSO. On those hours you and your employer together pay a solidarity contribution of 8.13%, of which 2.71% is yours. Your counter is on Student@work.
Since the Royal Decree of 19 April 2026, published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 4 May 2026, you may work as a student worker from the age of 15 on light, non-industrial tasks.
By sector
The tasks depend on the sector you start in. In these three sectors the weekend is part of the schedule.
At mobility companies you work during the day, in the evening or at the weekend, with a schedule that is set in advance.
Customer contact peaks at the weekend too. Phone, chat and reception, with evening and weekend shifts alongside your timetable.
Fixed evening and weekend schedules, and at holiday parks the fixed changeover days between two groups of guests.
You agree in advance whether you come one day or both. We also place students in administration and finance and in technical work; those sector pages show which hours apply there.
How to start
In about a minute you fill in your details, with the sectors that appeal to you and the times you want to work. Your account manager then gets in touch.
In the Poolmanager App you mark which Saturdays and Sundays you can work, and you see your schedule. An exam week or a weekend away, you adjust it there yourself.
We arrange your student employment contract and your Dimona declaration before your first shift, and your payroll after that.
Where we place students
We have offices in Antwerp and Brussels and place student workers across Flanders and Brussels. A weekend job close to home is easier to keep up, so give your postcode and your region when you sign up.
If you live in student accommodation, you often have two addresses that both work: your university city during the week and your family address at the weekend. Tell us at sign-up in which region you want to work at the weekend.
