Dr. Willem van der Brugge started his career in 1976 ago as a nursing officer – and some years later as a unit manager – in a psychiatric hospital in the province of North Holland (the Netherlands).  In 1989 he became a specialized probation worker for the Addiction and Probation Service in North Holland and established several drug-free units in prisons to work with addicted prisoners.

In 2001 he switched jobs from local policy advisor to national policy advisor at the umbrella organisation of Addiction and Probation Trusts (SVG), where he dealt with various probation matters (Development of  the Probation Registration System, Implementation of What Works, Redesign of the Dutch Offender Supervision) but also with financial issues regarding Planning and Control. For four years he was responsible for the operational and financial management of the SVG.

In 2013 he was appointed as Secretary General of  the Confederation of European Probation. Willem has a Master degree in Public Management and Governance.
