Apply for upcoming assignments at ECDC – the prestigious EU agency!

Do you have a post-secondary education and can communicate unchallenged in English, both in speech and writing? Does it sound interesting to work in an international environment where the working language is English, but you will also hear French, Latvian, Italian or - naturally - Swedish spoken in the corridors? Then ECDC might be your next workplace!
The positions
ECDC is a client of Perido since many years and we’ve helped them to find talents within administration, finance, communication, procurement, legal, HR and IT. The need for consultants with different skills is constantly ongoing and we add positions continuously, with varied working hours and duration. The office is nicely located in Solna, just outside of Stockholm City. ECDC staff is mostly working from home at the moment, although this might change in the course of the year depending on the epidemiological situation.
ECDC as a workplace
ECDC is an EU agency aimed at strengthening Europe's defences against infectious diseases. Their work is incredibly important and meaningful. It is also highly topical, especially in the current situation that we are in now with the Covid- pandemic. The core functions cover a wide spectrum of activities: surveillance, epidemic intelligence, response, scientific advice, microbiology, preparedness, public health training, international relations, health communication, and the scientific journal Eurosurveillance. The ECDC also monitors and provides information on COVID-19 and supports the response by Member States to the pandemic.
The work of the Centre is characterised by a high level of professionalism and efficiency. Every staff member’s contribution is important in making the Centre a good place to work with a strong team spirit. ECDC values diversity and welcomes staff without any distinction on the grounds of age, race, political, philosophical, or religious conviction, sex or sexual orientation and regardless of disabilities, marital status or family situation.
