Frontex welcomes applications from staff of public administration entities functioning in EU Member States, administrations of Schengen Associated Countries (SACs), candidate countries, public intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), and independent universities and research organisations that do not seek to make a profit for redistribution. Staff from international organisations and third countries may be accepted if the Frontex Executive Director grants an exemption by a reasoned decision. Secondments of SNEs at Frontex can range from a minimum of three months up to five years. At least three years of relevant work experience, good communication skills in English (minimum level: B2 according to CEFR), and the ability to work in a multicultural environment are essential qualifications to work at Frontex.
The SNE’s employer continues to pay his/her salary as well as to maintain his/her employment and/or administrative status throughout the period of secondment, and continues to be responsible for all his/her social security benefits including pension rights.
In addition, an SNE is entitled to a daily subsistence allowance and also a monthly subsistence allowance throughout the period of secondment, and to the reimbursement of the cost of travel between his/her place of origin/residence and the place of secondment at the beginning and at the end of the secondment period.
Applications shall be forwarded by Permanent Representations of EU Member States, by SAC competent authorities and, where provided for in an Open call for Seconded National Experts, the diplomatic missions of non-EU Member States whose nationals are eligible for secondment, and the administrations of IGOs.
