Careers

If you want to work for an ever-closer European Union, you should consider applying for a post in the EPP Group.

We recruit and develop dedicated and ambitious people committed to furthering the development of the European Union and to promoting political integration in Europe. Our job is to serve the Members of the EPP Group in the European Parliament (EP), the largest and most influential political group.

Our dedicated and highly competent staff support the work of MEPs, in line with both the Group and the EP’s agendas. We employ policy advisers and assistants with expert knowledge of the functioning of the EU and communicators who ensure the Group's message reaches both traditional and online channels, while our internal organisation colleagues (Human Resources, Finance and IT) provide us with the modern tools we need to work efficiently and effectively.

Our colleagues come from all EU Member States along with candidate countries. The roughly 300 permanent and contract employees working for the EPP Group are part of the European civil service.
