• Are you available 38 hours a week (with a part-time position being negotiable)?

Then we would be thrilled to meet you!

AKD will offer you:

An attractive, challenging job with excellent terms of employment. In addition, 22 days of leave (in a full-time position), 13th month, group insurance, a travel allowance, meal vouchers, and you will be offered the option of participating in a group hospitalisation insurance. We have a personalised training programme of which you are your own director, from day one.
