Head of Administration, CBb

We are at the heart of society and strive to keep pace with its rapid changes, which places high demands on our professionals. That is why we invest in the knowledge, skills, attitude, and experience of all our employees. At the CBb, we are working on innovation and digitalization, which means our organization is constantly evolving.

We believe a pleasant work environment is very important. We strive to be an inclusive and diverse organization where everyone can be themselves and contribute their knowledge and experience—drawn from a variety of backgrounds, orientations, and professional expertise—to the administration of justice. The atmosphere is informal and collegial. In addition to our professional work, we place a strong emphasis on social activities. For example, the CBb regularly organizes get-togethers, outings, and pub quizzes, and we also pay special attention to our colleagues’ personal lives.

What will you be doing?

As Head of Administration, you will lead a team of 20 employees. You will guide, coach, and support them to help them reach their full potential. You will monitor deadlines and ensure the quality of daily operations. 

You will ensure that the administrative department has the right number of staff and the right skill set. In this role, you will implement HR policies, including recruiting and selecting new employees, conducting performance reviews, and managing employee absences.

The team faces the challenging task of making progress in the ongoing digital transformation, optimizing work processes, and ensuring the timely administration of justice.

You won’t be doing this alone; you’ll be supported by three administrative and legal assistants who will help coordinate your work. You’ll also be part of the management team.

In addition to your managerial duties and your responsibility for ensuring that administrative processes run smoothly and efficiently, you will contribute to the organization’s development.

Participating in meetings, projects, and working groups is also part of your responsibilities.

What do we offer?

• A full-time position (36 hours per week) offering plenty of opportunities to expand your knowledge and further your personal development. A positive work atmosphere and challenging, varied work in an interesting work environment. Your employment terms are well-defined under the Central Government Collective Bargaining Agreement (CAO Rijk), which can be viewed at CAO Rijk. This position requires nearly daily presence at the office.
• A salary in pay scale 12 of the Central Government Collective Labor Agreement (up to €6,045.65 gross per month based on a 36-hour workweek).
• An Individual Choice Budget (ICB). The ICB consists of money (16.37% of your gross annual salary) and time (vacation hours in excess of the statutory minimum and any age-based hours). With this choice budget, you can customize part of your employment benefits yourself.
• 144 hours of vacation time and at least 21.6 IKB hours for a 36-hour workweek.
• Pension accrual under the ABP.
• Good policies regarding parental leave, educational support, and commuting allowances.
• Depending on experience, a permanent or fixed-term (1-year) employment contract.
• If the employee performs their duties satisfactorily and to the full extent of their responsibilities, the fixed-term employment contract will be converted into a permanent employment contract.

What are we looking for?

You are an experienced, goal-oriented, and people-focused manager. You stay closely involved in the process, are practical, a team player, hands-on, and take the initiative. You adapt your leadership style to the task, project, or person (situational leadership). You work on the basis of trust, are approachable and reliable, give and receive feedback, and don’t let others walk all over you.

You have a positive attitude and the ability to turn any resistance into a constructive contribution to change, and you are able to create the right conditions for this.

We require a completed master’s degree. You have about five years of management experience, preferably leading administrative and/or legal teams.

Experience in the judicial system and familiarity with our systems are a plus. If you don’t have this experience, we’ll be happy to train you.

Skills: results-oriented, planning and organizing, organizational sensitivity, situational awareness, and creativity.
