* Full time position, with deductions for social contributions: accident insurance (mandatory), health and long term care insurances (optional) and pension.
For fixed-term contracts, 20.7334% of your basic salary is paid into the ECB pension scheme. For short-term contracts, the same percentage is paid as cash equivalent hence the higher minimum basic net salary.

Salaries are reviewed annually based on each staff member’s personal development and contribution to the performance of the organisation.

Depending on your type of contract, you will be entitled to certain allowances and benefits that are specially designed to support you and your family in various aspects also of your private life.

Career development

Mobility

To support you to increase your expertise and broaden your skills, you can always apply for a new position within the ECB.

There are several options for mobility both within the organisation and beyond. Vacancies are usually first advertised internally, and staff members are encouraged to apply. Some members of staff also take part in intra-divisional mobility schemes and job swaps. Furthermore, there are opportunities for temporary secondment to other central banks and to European and international organisations.

Training

During your staying at the ECB you will be constantly encouraged to develop your expertise and gain new skills. To support you in this process, we offer a wide range of in-house training, including generic and specific job-related training, coaching in personal and interpersonal skills, training in people management, as well as language training. All courses are tailored to the specific needs of our institution and staff. Staff members may also attend external courses for specific job-related training.

Performance management

Managers monitor the performance of their staff by means of ongoing and open dialogue. They allocate work, define objectives, review performance, provide feedback and assess areas for development. The annual appraisal exercise consolidates this ongoing developmental process. Our competency framework and corporate values support this process.

Pension

Depending on your contract type, you can become a member of the ECB Pension Scheme. The Scheme provides you with an income after you retire from the ECB. It also provides benefits for your family in the event of your death.

Healthy working and well being

Medical cover

Because your health is important to us, the ECB Health insurance provides worldwide medical cover to all our staff members, including Trainees and staff on short-term assignments. Two-thirds of the cost is borne by the ECB, with one-third paid by staff. Dependent spouses/recognised partners and children can also be covered under the plan.

Accident insurance

Staff members also have accident insurance cover which provides benefits in the event that a staff member has an accident resulting in a disability or death in service. Two-thirds of the cost is borne by the ECB, with one-third paid by the insured person. Family members or recognised partners cannot be covered under this policy.

Long-term care insurance

Staff members covered by ECB health insurance are automatically covered by ECB long-term care insurance as well. Long-term care insurance pays a contribution towards care and other non-medical costs for individuals who are unable to perform basic everyday and housekeeping activities. Medical costs are covered by the health insurance. Dependents of staff members covered by ECB health insurance can also apply to be covered by long-term care insurance subject to a successful medical examination.

Mediator

The ECB Mediator/Ombuds is a confidential resource for all ECB staff, providing independent, informal and impartial support. The ECB Mediator/Ombuds helps staff to prevent and address workplace disputes with a variety of tools based on assisted, inclusive dialogue.

Social Counsellor

The Social Counsellors are external advisers who provide independent and impartial counselling services for all ECB staff members. The service includes up to five sessions and is free for ECB staff.

Other support services

The Employee Assistance Programme is a confidential support service designed to help colleagues deal with emotional distress. It is provided externally to the ECB and is available remotely, around the clock. The programme also offers advice or referrals on personal life, health, work, legal and financial issues to all ECB staff, including trainees and agency staff, as well as their dependents.

Rhein-Main Community Care Assistance is a hands-on support system available to all ECB staff should they experience disability, social or health-related difficulties in the Frankfurt area and need help navigating the German bureaucratic processes connected with these issues.

Teleworking

Teleworking gives you the possibility, subject to your line manager’s agreement, to work remotely ten days per month and in periods of no more than ten consecutive days for up to 110 days per year, of which up to 90 days can be outside the Frankfurt area and up to 20 days can be outside the EU. Teleworking allows you to organise your work with flexibility and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Additional services

In each of our locations an on-site Medical Centre provides a full range of occupational health services, including vaccinations.

Relocation

Depending on your contract type, a relocation service helps staff members to move to Frankfurt am Main as smoothly and easily as possible. This service includes assistance in finding suitable accommodation, help with negotiations with prospective landlords, the performance of checks on the rental contract and the provision of guidance on legal issues and other regulations.
