I want to work as a social worker in holland. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?
I'm from the UK and I'm hoping to do a 2year masters degree course in soical work next september. However, my partner is dead set on moving to holland. He worked there for 6months a couple of years back, and we've had 2 holidays there and loved it. I'm worried that I wont be able to get any work over there and will waste my career chances. We have a 9 month old child so I cant afford to do just casual/seasonal work. I'm planning on learning dutch whilst on my university course to make integration easier. I just want to know that a) social worker posts are available for UK persons in holland b) how to find them

You do not "buy" working visas. Here in the Netherlands there is a very official system dealt with by the immigration dept and the rules are clear and straight. Corruption and buying off people is not a system that works here with official matters like this. In short - unless you hold a EU passport (or have a relationship with a Dutch/EU national) then in principle there are only a couple of 'routes' in to getting a working visa which is what you will need to move here and work. You can read more about them all on the Dutch Immigration site here in English http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/ and the easier to read brochure on the same site http://www.ind.nl/en/Images/VIN_ENG_0806_tcm6-595.pdf (a) being self-employed (b) as a 'au pair' (c) As a highly skilled migrant (d) Self employed (d) When aa company sponsors you with a job offer Basically to get a working visa for the latter you must have a job offer and it is catch 22 as companies do not want to take the time, money or effort to bring someone from outside the EU unless they hold specialist knowledge/experience that they cannot find within the EU. You will see for many job advertisments that they specifiy that applications can only be accepted from people eligible (EU or already holding a working visa) to work already. You could also look at International companies which have branches in your country and also the Netherlands with a view to a transfer (based on knowledge/experience) as this is a viable route in, otherwise I think you will have a difficult task. This is not unique to the Netherlands. Because of influxes of immigrants in the last 10 years, rules have tightened updramatically. The rules may vary slightly within the EU countries, but the principles are the same. So your starting point should be with the IND links I gave you above or your local Dutch embassy, to see how/if you qualify for a working visa here.

I think you should look for a Temporary Residence Visa which you can find here http://www.netherlands-embassy.org.uk/home/index.php?i=60. Otherwise give them an email at consular@netherlands-embassy.org.uk and see if they give you the answer you are looking for. Just to note, the EU border forces can be quite tough so don't make yourself look suspicious when you're not :)

Working in Holland without knowing Dutch
Working in Holland without knowing Dutch?
I will be studying in Leiden starting 2009. Can I find work there without speaking Dutch? Generally speaking, is it hard to find work in the Netherlands without knowing Dutch?

Well it all depends what your duties are alot of dutch do understand English so i think you could be alright
2 :
Leiden is pretty big, so you'll find easely a job, even without speaking Dutch. I think that their second language is English there, so most people will understand you. A job where you don't have to deal with public might be a good solution. I remember working with an English speaking student while I worked in retail ( in Belgium), he worked in the stock room. Receiving and distributing merchandise, he did quite well! Good luck!!!

Nee, je moet Nederlands leren, ik heb et ouk niet gedaan, un keijn werkplaats krejjnd.

You will get lots of Yes's and No's, but my answer is that "it depends"! Basically it depends on where you are located and what kind of work you are looking for. I am not so familair with the job situation in Leiden, but in & around Amsterdam, Den Haag, Hoofddorp, Schiphol (all are close enough to travel to depending on the public transport connection to the actual address) there are many International companies whose working language is English, and this is the area you should be looking towards. Working in a call centre is something that many friends did when students (although in Dutch but there are those in English as well). Also the company I use to work for have a distribution centre near Schiphol and hire non-Dutch speakers for the warehouse as well, so it is possible. There are many job agencies in NL and some of them do specialise in certain area's. A job agency is an 'Uitzendburo' or 'Uitzendbureau'. You can also look in English in the yellow pages if you want (link here in English). http://yellowpages.goudengids.nl/displayhome.ds?locale=en_NL&visitorUid=8a90219019e8964d0119fceb83741af7&passwordToken=E644C26C-E692-C22B-C325-C9DC39460A68&newSearch=true&previousPath=displayhome There are also some sites in English where English language jobs are placed. The most famous one is http://www.undutchables.nl Then here are a couple more that I know of: http://www.bluelynx.nl http://www.xpatjobs.com http://jobs.expatica.com/nl What you can also do is check the Dutch version of Monsterboard and type "English" in the 'trefwoord' (keyword) field http://www.monsterboard.nl You can also ask the University as well, as this will not be the first time someone has asked, so may have an info pack with useful info about it anyway, and more specific to Leiden. The "But" comes! If you are non-EU and have a study visa then make sure you check if you are able to work under the conditions of this visa being issued. There are maybe "cash in hand" jobs to be found, but (a) you will be exploited in terms of pay and (b) if found then this could mean your study visa is revoked and end of your uni course. So really pay attention to this and don't make assumptions. Contact the Dutch embassy in your country first before you try to find a job. Good luck

OK one more opinion: it depends on what kind of work you are planning to do. For instance i have seen Amsterdam based jobs for native speaking US/UK speakers (callcenter). Preferrably you are bilangual (Dutch/English). I agree withe one of the answers that you should prepare yourself very well
