Werken voor Nederland is the official recruitment platform for the Dutch national government (Rijksoverheid). It functions as the central hub for civil service careers, listing vacancies across all ministries and government organisations in the Netherlands. At any given time, the platform hosts over 1,500 active positions.
The platform serves a workforce of approximately 76,000 civilian employees who work for the national government. Roles span a wide range of public administration domains, addressing policy areas such as safety, housing, education, healthcare, climate neutrality, and digitalisation.
Employees recruited through the platform benefit from a structured public-sector employment package. This includes 100% reimbursement of commuting costs, free first-class travel on business trips, and access to extensive training and development programmes. The government frames these roles as opportunities to contribute to building a sustainable, digital, and just society.
