Auditor digital accessibility

We are Cardan, the Accessibility Agency in the Netherlands, with a mission: to create a world where everyone can participate digitally. We bring the digital world and people together by translating accessibility issues into a fully digitally accessible environment. We help organizations make their digital services accessible to everyone, provide our expertise to all our clients and are constantly looking for new innovations in this.

Together we take the best possible care of our clients and especially of all people experiencing challenges in our digital society. We are accessible, reliable, helpful, innovative and passionate. With you we ensure that everyone in the Netherlands, Europe and the world can use digital products. As Article 1 of the Equal Treatment on the Basis of Disability or Chronic Illness Act states, “Every person must be enabled to be autonomous in accordance with their own abilities.”

In recent years, the awareness of organizations regarding the responsibility on digital accessibility has continued to grow. Legislation has contributed to this, among other things, but is only the beginning. We are growing fast with Cardan and are helping more and more customers make their digital services digitally accessible. Therefore, we are looking for an enthusiastic Auditor Digital Accessibility to further strengthen our mission.
