Student job

Are you looking for a student job in a non-profit project? Would you like to gain experience in different visibility activities, from creating and managing online content to representing Make it in the North at in-person events? Then this is the student job for you!

The project
Make it in the North is a non-profit project that connects internationals to the Northern Dutch job market, offering a dynamic 8-hour student job. Our mission is to connect English-speaking jobseekers with international-friendly companies in the Northern Netherlands through our career portal, events, and career services.

No week is the same when you join this international team: you’ll help organise events, keep international-friendly jobs and companies up to date, and offer advice and information to international jobseekers in the North. The municipality of Groningen is one of our most important project partners, and your contract will be with the municipality. With a small team of 7 people—half Dutch, half international—we create visibility for international-friendly career opportunities in the North. Our team works mostly asynchronously and online, but we come together in the Groningen city center every Monday.

What will you be doing?

• Maintaining and monitoring jobs and companies on our platform (administrative tasks)
• Writing informative and promotional texts
• Co-organising events
• Representing Make it in the North at a booth during events

• Researching sources and interviewing experts

• Public speaking is no problem for you
• You are comfortable spending a little time on the project Monday through Friday (this isn’t a job where all hours are on 1 or 2 days a week)

What do we offer?

• Depending on your education and experience, a gross monthly salary of up to €3661 based on a full-time position (functional scale 6, HR21 studentambtenaar)
• A one-year contract with no opportunity for extension
• An individual choice budget of 17.05% on top of your salary, which you can opt to receive annually or monthly
