Every national of the EU, EEA and Switzerland can benefit from the services offered by the voivodeship and poviat labour offices within EURES network. Those services include:< >employment services for the Polish employers, including but not limited to the ones interested in employing foreigners, nationals of EU member states, EEA or Switzerland,providing information on the living and working conditions and on the labour market situation in Poland.here.
Poviat labour offices enter job offers in the central job offer database. You can find the offers here.
To be able to use all job offers held by the Poviat Labour Office, you should register in a given office as an unemployed or a jobseeker.
The registration will enable you to access also the job offers where the Polish employer's details are known solely to the office and not announced on the information board or in the central job offer database.
If a foreigner, a national of EU, EEA or Switzerland, does not want to register in the Poviat Labour Office, they can browse job offers entered by Poviat Labour Offices in the central job offer database. Some of those offers contain the details of employers who submitted them. Every interested person can contact the employer directly or submit application document to them. You can access the job offers here.
All job offers of the Polish Poviat Labour Offices are available also on the European level on the European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) kept by the European Commission at www.eures.europa.eu.

The said offers are marked in a special way. You can access the offers here. The offers are published in Polish, with a fraction of every offer translated into all official languages of member states.
