Are you a veterinarian or veterinary nurse looking to take the next step in your career in the Netherlands?
We help European veterinarians and veterinary nurses who want to live and work in the Netherlands find a suitable position at a modern veterinary practice or clinic.
The Netherlands has a lot to offer: a good work-life balance, professional veterinary care, and ample opportunities for further professional development. And this doesn’t have to be in the Randstad area; we have opportunities throughout the country, including in smaller towns and rural regions.
Who are we looking for?
We would like to get in touch with:
- Veterinarians with a recognized European veterinary qualification.
- Veterinary nurses/technicians with a recognized qualification that is eligible for recognition in the Netherlands.
- Candidates holding an EU passport.
- Candidates willing to relocate to the Netherlands and settle here for the long term.
- Candidates motivated to learn the Dutch language.
- Candidates willing to work shifts or weekend duties, depending on the specific role and practice.
The Dutch language: start right away
A good command of the Dutch language is important for working effectively and professionally in the Netherlands.
As a veterinarian or veterinary technician, you will have daily contact with Dutch pet owners. You need to be able to explain an animal’s condition, ask questions, provide instructions, and communicate pleasantly with clients and colleagues.
Our advice: start learning Dutch as soon as you seriously consider working in the Netherlands. You do not need to master the language perfectly right away, but the motivation to learn it is essential.
The sooner you start, the easier it will be to find your way in a Dutch veterinary practice and in daily life.
Registration and recognition.
To work as a veterinarian or veterinary technician in the Netherlands, your qualification must be recognized, and you must complete the required registration process via the CIBG (Diergeneeskunderegister Nederland).
We can guide you through the steps needed to start working in the Netherlands. A recognized qualification and the successful completion of the necessary registration and authorization procedures are key requirements.
Where can you work?
We partner with veterinary practices and clinics throughout the Netherlands.
From a modern companion animal practice in a rural setting to a larger, multidisciplinary clinic: we look not only at your qualifications and experience but, above all, at finding the practice that suits you best.
Together, we will look at, among other things:
- your experience and field of expertise;
- the type of practice that suits you;
- the region where you wish to live;
- your options for moving to the Netherlands;
- your preferred working hours and days;
- your professional development and ambitions;
- and the support you need to get off to a good start.
What can you expect
Moving to another country is a major step. That is why we believe it is important not only for you to find a job but also to know exactly what you are getting into.
We guide you through the process and help you gain insight into the opportunities available in the Netherlands. We discuss your preferences, look for suitable vacancies, and help connect you with the right employer.
Not just a standard job opening, but a personal match.
