Activities Coordinator Day Activities in the Netherlands

As an activities coordinator, you do more than just offer meaningful activities. You also think about new activities, lead volunteers, and act as a networker and ambassador. Someone who is curious, creative, energetic, and connecting: that is what we are looking for! Will you come and challenge our clients and put a smile on their faces?

As an activities coordinator, you actively commit yourself to the well-being of the clients of day activities Het Hoge Heem. The 10 to 20 clients who visit daily want to do something, challenge themselves, and meet others. Together with the client, you draw up an individual support plan, where you support clients in pursuing the jointly formulated goals.

In doing so, you look with an investigative and curious eye at possibilities and combinations between clients and their wishes. You translate this into creative, new, and original activities that you organize and coordinate, both as individual activities and in a group setting. Thanks to you, there is a safe atmosphere in which clients can be themselves.

As an activities coordinator, you always see possibilities and roll up your sleeves. You are not afraid of changes, but rather you embrace them and dare to initiate them yourself. You work in a demand-oriented manner and can apply various conversation techniques in discussions. You work independently, entrepreneurially, and proactively: taking initiative and trying new things is highly appreciated!

What else you do:

• You lead volunteers

• You are a networker and maintain contact with various partners, neighborhood teams, and GPs

• When necessary, you can provide ADL support to clients or ensure that the right people are deployed for this

More and more, we are focusing on strengthening the self-reliance and personal autonomy of participants. Based on an experience-oriented care vision, we support people to remain active, independent, and involved in their own living environment for as long as possible.
