The length of employment of Junior Professionals is limited to a maximum of four years under this scheme.
If successful, you may be offered employment based on renewable fixed-term contracts for a maximum cumulated duration of four years at grade B3. You will receive a basic monthly gross salary of €4107 which is exempt from national income tax.
