Working within the EU institutions can offer an interesting, varied and challenging career.  Not only is there a great variety of roles and a broad spectrum of issues to cover, there is also the possibility to engage with a wide audience of stakeholders, colleagues, and citizens from throughout Europe and beyond.

Equally there are a number of different opportunities for finding temporary and permanent positions with the institutions, depending on whether you are an existing UK civil servant looking for a secondment, whether you are a student or graduate looking for some work experience, or whether you are looking for a permanent career within the EU.

Careers with the EU

More information on recruitment to the EU institutions, including advice on the application procedure and links to current vacancies can be found in our 'careers with the EU' section.

Traineeships

For students, graduates and others who are interested in short term work experience or placements with the institutions, or in Brussels in general, our page on 'traineeships' offers a range of useful advice and links.

Civil servant opportunities

If you are already a civil servant in the UK, opportunities frequently arise for secondments to the European institutions.  Our EU staffing team is available to advise on any possibilities and the recruitment procedure, and to support candidates during their time in Brussels.  Find out more on our 'Civil servant opportunities' page.
