According to colleague Nadine, this is the ideal candidate
"We are looking for help and expertise in implementing and executing the policy area of Integration. We like to invite you in this role to come up with new ideas and insights. You are anything but traditionally minded within this role, you think and approach things differently. A real networker, you can connect parties and people and come to the right solution. This is important because you work with many different partners. You are by nature someone who takes charge and shows project leadership. Two to four years of experience in the task area of Integration is required, as well as your experience in supervising projects and processes aimed at concrete implementation.

Furthermore, the material is sometimes complex so it is important that you have a relevant college education such as: SJD, Law or Social Work. Experience with intercultural communication is useful in this role. We think from the heart and therefore it is important that we match as colleagues and you feel at home in our team."
