The consulate is correct. A work contract is not an authorization to work in Belgium for an expat. Work Permit is the work authorization based on which an expat is granted a long stay visa in Belgium for employment. Your employer (a family it seems) must get you a work permit. I am not sure how successful it will be for them to get this.

You can ask the documents back from the consulate. If that is not possible, yes you may have to get new originals.
