Hi
I was in a similar situation last year as I relocated here to be with my partner and gave up my job in the UK. The first point of call would be to contact ADEM which is the employment agency in Luxembourg, you can find more information and advice on their website. I also registered straight away with the employment agencies such as Randstad, Monster and Kelly Services but I am sure there may be others out there too. I had an interview within a couple of days of registering with Kelly and found them particularly helpful.

However, I am not sure how deeply you have looked into this but a word of caution. Because my partner and I are not married, he was easily able to get his ID and Residence permit from the local commune and his company assisted with that, but when I went to register, they could not issue me with one as I did not have a contract of employment here in Luxembourg and despite the fact we have lived together for many years and have joint accounts in the UK. This is because, if you are not married or in a registered civil partnership, you have to be able to prove that you have enough resources of your own to allow you to continue to live in Luxembourg should something happen to your partner or the relationship. Although you do not need to have a residence permit and ID to get paid employment, you do need it to open a bank account here in Luxembourg and also for health care (unless you are already have health insurance of course).

Don't let any of that put you off however!! I found something within a few weeks of being here. Hope that helps, good luck!

Thanks for the reply.

We'll get her CV on those sites today :) My partner is in the same situation as you were.

Hope something comes up as were both pretty young and don't want the financial strain of a single bread winner.

Thanks again.

No problem, there is something else you can look into depending on your circumstances and that is a PACS. This is a civil partnership agreement which I believe is only recognised here in Luxembourg. It is not marriage but it gives your partner the same rights as if you were. You can find more details on your local commune's website when you move here.
All the best
Julie
