The Eduployment Programme

Work as a nurse in Holland

  • Relocation and Integration Support
  • Sponsored Language Training
  • Guaranteed Job Placement
Are you looking for a job as a nurse in Holland? Then you might want to check out Dutch healthcare organization Pleyade and our vacancies for foreign caretakers. Because we suffer from a serious lack of good nurses over here in the Netherlands, we can offer EU certified nurses a wide range of nursing jobs with competitive salaries and more than enough spare time.

However, we aim for the best care possible. That’s why we need you to be able to comprehend the Dutch language, so you can understand your clients’ needs and provide the necessary care. You don’t have to worry about learning Dutch yourself, though. We’ve developed an educational program in which we’ll convey everything you need to know.

So, do you want to work as a nurse in Holland? Then read all about our Eduployment Program for certified nurses and discover all the benefits and opportunities!

The program summarized

The Eduployment Program for EU certified nurses starts with an introductory course in which you’ll learn the most important and basic words in Dutch language. The course is given in your own home country and is, except for the required study app, free of charge. After completing the course, we’ll invite you over for a well-paid introduction you can experience what it’s like to be a nurse in Holland.

During this period you’ll get accustomed to the Dutch healthcare protocols while meeting your future colleagues and performing some activities of daily living for our clients. To make your first months as comfortable as possible, you’ll receive a starting salary and on top of that we’ll help with housing too. At the end of the introduction period, you’ll be given the choice to continue at Pleyade or just quit. No strings attached.

The next step

Continuing means you’ll roll into another language course in which you’ll be taught about the Dutch language and healthcare customs even more, right until you have reached the required level for passing a state exam. Passing the state exam grants you a Dutch nurse registration which is obligated to have when you apply for jobs as a nurse in Holland. After that, your career as a healthcare professional can really take off!

In short

Going through the Eduployment Program and starting your career as a nurse in Holland, requires you to invest valuable time and effort in our organization. We acknowledge that. So in return, we take care of the rest. Amongst other things, we offer you:

  • a free beginner’s course with an introductory period in which you get paid.
  • a free follow-up program to get your language skills to the required level of a professional nurse.
  • help during all periods of your study.
  • contribution to housing expenses during your language training (if the course is outside your place of residence).
  • competitive salaries with extra payments for working irregular hours, overtime and on Sundays and public holidays.
  • a continuous development program for personal and professional growth.
  • and an introduction to other healthcare institutions after two years (if you think it is time for a career switch).

Your job as a nurse in Holland

As a nurse in Holland for Pleyade, you mostly provide care and assistance for our clients in and around Arnhem, a great city at roughly an hour’s drive from Amsterdam. There you’ll take care of clients in nursing homes or patients in generic or psychiatric hospitals and private clinics. We offer quite a range of possibilities to choose from, so you’ll always be able to apply for the job that suits you best. We’ll also give you the opportunity to grow into your role or to specialize in different aspects of healthcare.

Real stories from our students

Ana Munaiz

“I think Eduployment is a good option for people who don’t know the language and want to live and work in the Netherlands. Because it has an online course with flexibility that adapts to individual rhythms. It also offers accommodation, depending on the city it can be a big challenge to find something on your own. In short, Eduployment gives the boost to start your life in a new country.”

Sylvia Agarici

If you’re a nurse looking for a seamless move to the Netherlands, Eduployment is your ultimate partner! From day one, they were by my side—starting with my very first Dutch lesson, guiding me through the BIG registration process, and even helping me secure my own apartment in the Netherlands. Moving abroad can be overwhelming, but with Eduployment’s support every step of the way, the transition felt smooth and stress-free. Their team made what seemed daunting into an exciting journey!”

Matthias Christen

“The teachers and management of Eduployment were always available to answer questions. I had some difficulties feeling at home in the Netherlands. The aftercare offered by Eduployment made this a lot easier. They guided me throughout my whole two-year contract.”

Tonia Karapidaki

“It is pleasant that Eduployment supports me still. We recently moved into a very nice apartment. Eduployment was there to help us move. Someone even came by with a screw driver to help us assemble some cabinets, and a pipe wrench to connect the washing machine.”

Altea Koutsiouki

“The collaboration with Εduployment started about two years ago. Within a year I was able to speak and understand Dutch at a good level. After arriving in the Netherlands, the challenges I faced were many, but step by step and with patience, I can proudly say that one year later I have managed to achieve many of my goals and, most importantly, I have slowly gained the confidence I needed to grow professionally! During this time, Εduploymet supported me every time I needed it. Here’s to what’s to come next!”

Inês Ramos

“Dutch is a bit difficult at first, but it is possible! You have to focus on it. Learning Dutch should be your job; you should spend a lot of time learning a new language. I’m glad I decided to learn Dutch with Eduployment.”

Asta Kuodiene

“I was among the first group to be trained by Eduployment. We received excellent guidance and were able to make a good start with our Dutch employer. Some of my colleagues are still working there. I always wanted to work in forensic psychiatry. Thanks to my good knowledge of Dutch, help from Eduployment and the start in the Dutch nursing home, I succeeded.”

Ágnes Hajas

“I really like this job, because here every day is a challenge and that’s what I like. After I started, I passed the national knowledge test for triage assistant within five weeks. My audits are good and, in the meantime, I have also obtained my diploma. I am very satisfied with what I have achieved. The free language course from Eduployment was a very good investment!”

Alberto Soto

“The support of Eduployment was much needed, because we had no idea about the Dutch system. This support meant a lot to me, because most procedures require several steps that are difficult to solve on your own. Furthermore, the Eduployment team visited us a lot in the beginning to talk to us about how things were going and if we had any questions. That is very nice.”

Eglė Skersienė

“Eduployment has helped me get through this period very well, by offering lots of practical help, personal support and a solid track. Also, my colleagues who entered this programme with me in 2003 have meant a lot to me and we still keep in touch.”
