The Eduployment Programme

Work In Holland For Spanish Nurses

In some countries, healthcare jobs are not there for the taking. However, in the Netherlands exists a lack of certified, professional caretakers. That’s why Eduployment provides the opportunity to work in Holland for Spanish nurses. The nursing jobs are preceded by the Eduployment Programme, an educational procedure through which you’ll be equipped with all the tools and knowledge to make your nursing career a success.

It is initially meant for already certified nurses, but there is also an internship programme designed for nursing students with a 6 months Erasmus scholarship. In order to provide the best care and support for our clients and patients, it is crucial to understand their needs. Therefore, both programmes start with an introductory course in Dutch language which is given in Spain.

The Eduployment Programme: a short summary

Applying for work in Holland for Spanish-certified nurses and nursing students requires you to sign up for the Eduployment Programme first. It’s easily done through the website. After application, you’ll follow the introductory course in which you’ll learn the most important words and basic phrases of the Dutch language, so you can ultimately communicate with clients and colleagues.

Introductory period for certified nurses
Next, we invite you to come over to the Netherlands for a paid introductory period. During these 5 months period, you’ll get accustomed to the protocols in Dutch healthcare by performing “Activities of Daily Living” for our clients.  Of course, this won’t be for nothing. Besides a competitive salary, we will arrange your housing and you also receive extras and excellent coaching.

Introductory period for nursing students
As a nursing student, this introductory period is a 6-month internship, where you can apply for the Erasmus scholarship, see also our special Erasmus programme. During your internship, it is possible to indicate if you want to come back for paid work at this healthcare organisation after graduation. If so, after graduation, you can also participate in the second part of the programme (the follow-up programme) and continue with the other qualified nurses.

The programme continues...

Joining the follow-up programme, you’ll advance into another course in which facets of the Dutch language and healthcare protocols are further explained. The course prepares you for the obligatory state exam, which is required to pass for applying for a nurse registration. The registration is needed to be able to apply for jobs in healthcare institutions as nursing homes, general hospitals, psychiatric institutes and private clinics.

After being registered, you can take full advantage of all our job positions while continuing to improve your nursing skills through personal development programs and additional training. We’ll provide everything you need for your dream job as a professional caretaker.

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.”
