Set up on 5 May 1949, the Council of Europe is one of the Continent's oldest international organisations that is best known for its work promoting human rights and democracy. If you are interested in the idea of working for the Organisation and you live up to the Council's demanding standards for recruitment, you can obtain information about vacancy notices on our recruitment website. We are frequently looking for administrative officers, lawyers, translators, secretarial assistants and other categories of staff. We can offer a stimulating, multi-cultural and multi-lingual work environment, attractive conditions, and the chance to live in one of Europe's most attractive cities. Strasbourg is in the East of France, close to the border with Germany, and within two hours drive to Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg.
