Temporary and contract staff

The EESC also employs temporary and contract staff.

They are mainly used when a post is waiting to be filled, when a staff member is absent due to leave on personal grounds or long-term illness, or when a department has to carry out a specific task in addition to its usual work. In any event, such contracts are for a limited period.

Applicants must be nationals of one of the EU's Member States. They must have a thorough knowledge of one of the EU's official languages and a satisfactory knowledge of at least one other such language. They are selected from a pool of applicants – the Recruiter Portal database managed by EPSO – following a selection procedure organised by EPSO. See the EPSO website for more details.

If you wish to be considered for such a contract, you can also apply online for your profile to be added to our database of spontaneous applications. If an opportunity arises that matches your profile, you may be contacted for an interview.
