Work Coach at De Rotonde

Do you want to work during office hours with a target group for whom your commitment truly makes a difference? And are you someone who knows how to motivate people, can provide structure, and stands firm in your shoes? Then we would love to meet you.

As a work coach at De Rotonde, you guide people who are homeless or roofless and need support in finding structure and daily activities. Together with colleagues, you offer participants a safe place where they can work, develop, and work on recovery.

As a work coach, you are present on the work floor daily. You guide participants in their activities, encourage them to participate actively, and help them provide structure where necessary. A portion of the activities takes place in landscaping/greenery maintenance. Together with participants, you make a visible contribution to the neighborhood and to their development.

No two days are the same. You will deal with people who have often experienced a lot. This requires a professional who remains calm in challenging situations, communicates clearly, and can set boundaries in a respectful manner.
