Registration in Belgium and work permits

As our contracts fall under Belgian law, the candidate must commit to being officially registered in Belgium and working from our office in Brussels (with structural teleworking). For this role, we foresee very regular presence in the office (at least three days a week).

The EEB welcomes applicants from outside the EU, and we consider it a privilege to have non-EU nationals amongst our staff members and to benefit from their perspectives and skills.

If you are not an EU citizen, please let us know if you have a work permit for Belgium.

Please note that it is not possible for us to initiate and succeed with work permit applications for non-EU nationals for this post due to legal restrictions given this is a part-time role.

If you hold a work permit, please mention if you hold a valid Single Permit (A card) or permanent residence permit (B card, long-term resident).

How You Can Apply

We are looking forward to receiving:

• a short letter of motivation;
• your CV (without pictures).

We value clarity, motivation and authenticity more than formal letters and too much detail.

Only applications comprising these two elements will be considered.

Please send your complete application to personnel@eeb.org.

Thank you for clearly marking “Office Coordinator” in the subject of your email.

Please read our recruitment privacy statement before applying: https://eeb.org/eeb-recruitment-privacy-statement/.

Shortlisted candidates may be asked to provide two references later.

Due to limited staff resources and the number of applications anticipated, only candidates selected for interviews will receive a reply.

Please do not have AI tools write your answers. If we detect arguments or text blocks which have been generated by an AI tool, your application may be rejected. We are interested in genuine perspectives and original ideas.
