General info for candidates:
To legally work for MCL in The Netherlands you will need the following:
- UK NI number
- SOFI Number
- Bank Account/Post Office Account (Postbank)
If you are a first time jobseeker in the Netherlands you will need to obtain a SOFI number. A SOFI (Sociaal-Fiscaal) Number is the equivalent of a UK National Insurance/Social Security number. To obtain this number you must visit the Tax Office (Belastingdienst). Without a SOFI-number an employee cannot be paid their salary.
You will need to take with you:
- Passport
- Work Permit/Foreign Police Stamp

Bank Account:
In order to receive your salary, you will need to open a bank or postbank (post office) account. If you don't have a bank account already you must visit either the bank or post office (no appointment required), but you must take the original and a copy of the following information: passport, employment contract and in some cases SOFI number.
There is actually very little difference between the two types of account. The main advantage of a bank account is that your salary will arrive two or three days sooner than with a postbank account.
