The EU civil service needs to employ highly motivated, talented and ambitious individuals.
 
"The EU Institutions employ 40,000 women and men from a wide variety of cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds who are united by their passion for Europe.
"Staff in the EU Institutions enjoy a truly multicultural work environment. They are all professionals in their own field and excellent team players. With their enthusiasm and knowledge they contribute to the prosperity not only of Europe, but also to the world at large. That's why we are looking for people who have something more than just knowledge and professional skills: the drive to deliver results and the ability to work effectively as part of a multicultural team."
European Personnel and Selection Office, 2011
Just like the UK's civil service, EU civil servants carry out the day-to-day work of implementing decisions made by the European Union and its member states. For the EU to work effectively, the EU civil service needs to employ highly motivated, talented and ambitious individuals.

What can the EU civil service offer you?

Working for the European Union institutions can be one of the most satisfying and rewarding careers in Europe. This is not a single career. It is a lifetime of different, challenging and rewarding jobs. There are a wide variety of roles available to you as an EU civil servant; one year you could be drafting EU policy, the next you could be working on free trade agreements with emerging economies.
You will have the opportunity to work in a diverse and multicultural environment and become friends with colleagues from around the world. You will live and breathe the multinational culture that Brussels offers, learn new languages and have the opportunity to travel the world.
Benefits of a career in the EU can include:
• A lifetime of different jobs
• Excellent training and development opportunities
A competitive remuneration package
• Discounted medical insurance
• Final salary pension scheme
The EU civil service encourages professional and personal development, including training for a specific professional qualification, learning a new language, or going on loan to another department to gain new skills.
