People & Organization internship – Dutch

A Beautiful Mess seeks a People & Organization intern, preferred 5 to 6 months (minimum 4 months)

In our office, you not only contribute to the smooth operations of our restaurant, but you also make an impact. You’ll work side by side with colleagues who may not yet have full command of the Dutch language, who have yet to learn our work culture, and where the social aspect may be just as important as smooth operations. In other words, it can be a Beautiful Mess. Does this appeal to you?

In our restaurants in Amsterdam, Arnhem and Utrecht, people who once fled to the Netherlands work together with people who already lived here. Dutch lessons are offered and people reintegrate into a work routine, possibly leading to further education or work elsewhere. We hope everyone feels at home here.
