READY TO APPLY?

You can apply directly via the application button on our website so we can process your personal data with your consent. Only applications received through this channel will be considered.
We are constantly looking for strong candidates, which is why this position remains open continuously.

You will also be responsible for relationship management with these entrepreneurs. That means working near our FADN participants from one of our regional offices: Alkmaar, The Hague, Drachten, Holten, Goes, Oisterwijk, Meijel, or Wageningen.
The Farm Accountancy Data Network (www.wur.nl/bedrijveninformatienet) is a network of approximately 1,500 agricultural and horticultural businesses, 100 trawlers and other fishing vessels, and 150 forestry companies. At Wageningen Social & Economic Research around 65 administrative assistants maintain this network.

The main tasks and activities as an administrative assistant for cut flowers and pot plants:

• collecting financial and sustainability data from a fixed group of FADN companies. You obtain this information from business administration records, digital sources (e.g., e-invoices), farm accountancy records, or by conducting surveys with the entrepreneurs. You then enter this data into a database and make it available to fellow researchers;
• maintaining relationships with FADN participants. You create an annual report for the entrepreneur that includes business results and key environmental indicators, and you produce a digital business comparison overview in MijnAgrimatie.nl. During your visit to the entrepreneur, you explain both reports and answer any questions. At the same time, you begin the data collection process for the new year. Each year, you also recruit a few new participants to the FADN to replace natural turnover. After your onboarding period, you will be on the road about one day per week in a full-time position.

• sabbatical leave, study leave, and partially paid parental leave;
