Visa/work permit requirements: Candidates must currently hold the independent right to live and work in the Netherlands and be prepared to ensure that right remains throughout the scope of the contract. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal requirements to live and work in the Netherlands.

Salary/tax conditions: The British Embassy is a tax-withholding agent. The 30% ruling is not applicable to the role. Under the terms of the UK/NL Double Taxation Convention (Article 18 1(b)(ii), UK nationals who move to the Netherlands to take up their new role at the Embassy or who start working at the Embassy with no previous record of working in the Netherlands,  will be placed on a tax abated salary if deemed to be eligible for Dutch income tax exemption on their salary. Qualifying staff will have no Dutch income tax levied on their salary and will therefore be paid an abated salary reduced by the applicable tax they would have had to pay if that local liability had existed. A tax abated salary ensures a fair and comparable take home pay. Staff on tax abated salaries cannot claim tax benefits in the Netherlands but they are fully and comprehensively covered for social security and deemed to be resident local staff for all intents and purposes. 

Job conditions: The job description is subject to changes and may evolve over time and in response to changing circumstances. The role exists as part of a team and all staff are expected to be flexible in supporting colleagues, particularly at busy times. The Embassy promotes and demonstrates the core values of Professionalism, Inclusivity, Honesty and Respect in all that we do. We are an equal opportunity employer and all members of the team are expected to treat each other with respect. We value great teamwork and we ask that everyone contributes to create a positive atmosphere at work.
