Jobs with accommodation in the Netherlands

Are you thinking about working in the Netherlands, but do you worry about where you will live? Finding a place to stay in a new country can be stressful, especially when you don’t speak the language or know the local housing market. That’s why many people choose jobs with accommodation in the Netherlands.

We will explain what to expect, how it works, and why it can be perfect for you.

Job with accommodation, what does that mean?

When you start working via HOBIJ, we – as your employer – arrange a place for you to live. That means, you don’t have to spend hours searching for a room online or worry about scams. Once you arrive in the Netherlands, your housing is already taken care of.

This is helpful if you…

• Don’t speak the language
• Are coming alone or with a partner for example
• Want to start working immediately
• Prefer short-term or flexible contracts

What is the housing like?

Most accommodation we offer with a job are shared houses and apartments. But you might also live in a hotel or a bungalow park, depending on your job and the location of your workplace.

Often, you will live with people from different countries. You will have a double – and in some cases a single – room, and share the kitchen, bathroom, and living space with your housemates.

At HOBIJ, we provide housing that meets strict quality standards, following the ABU and SNF. The houses are clean, safe, and located as close as possible to your workplace. And if something goes wrong? Your Housing Coordinator is there to help you out. You can contact them with all questions and suggestions about your accommodation.

Why choose a job with housing?

Well, that’s an easy question. There are a few good reasons:

• Less stress because you don’t need to find a place yourself. Which can be extremely difficult in this heated housing market.
• It’s cheaper, because you don’t need to pay a deposit or buy your own furniture.
• You’ll live closer to work, which means more time for yourself.
• You’ll have a great opportunity to meet people and make friends.

Are there any costs?

Yes, when you stay in a HOBIJ accommodation, you will pay a weekly fee. But this is often cheaper than renting on your own. Things like gas, water, electricity, internet, and basic furniture are included. The only thing you need to bring or buy yourself are a pillow, fitted sheet, duvet, and duvet cover.
