Is it possible to go abroad with my children and family?
For most of the vacancies we offer, it is difficult to go abroad with children because the salary is often insufficient to support your family. Living and working abroad with children also poses many organizational problems. In our experience, it is therefore rare that your children can accompany you abroad for the positions we currently offer.
