Can you, as a reporter on the economy desk, create news for the general public? And write about societal issues in the healthcare sector and social security? Then come work with us.

We are looking for a journalist who can sink their teeth into dossiers, build a solid network, and thereby create their own news. And at NU.nl, we do that in an accessible way, with the citizen and patient in mind.

So we write about healthcare costs, waiting lists in mental healthcare, and home and nursing home care. And also much about benefits, allowances, and debts among the vulnerable. Policy and organizations do receive attention, but the most important focus lies on the impact of news on our readers.
