Knowledge Management Advisor

Help build the knowledge of tomorrow
As a Knowledge Management Advisor, do you want to play a key role in developing, organizing, and sharing knowledge that contributes directly to a better life for people with a visual and/or additional disability?

As a national expertise organization, Bartiméus has been dedicated for more than 100 years to developing, pooling, and sharing knowledge about living with a visual impairment. This knowledge arises in daily practice, in (scientific) research, and in collaboration with clients, loved ones, and professionals. As a Knowledge Management Advisor, you bring people, knowledge, and ideas together. You identify where knowledge questions arise, help provide direction to the development of new expertise, and ensure that knowledge does not remain with a single person or team, but becomes available to colleagues, clients, and partners. You ensure that this knowledge finds its way to the right place, so that it can contribute to better care and support, and social impact. You do this in a rich environment where knowledge, expertise, networks, and ambition are present. At the same time, not everything is set in stone. There is room to advance new themes, identify opportunities, and build the knowledge of tomorrow together with colleagues.

• You advise, both requested and unrequested, on knowledge management, knowledge development, and knowledge sharing.

• You contribute to the further development of the knowledge policy and the knowledge strategy of Bartiméus.

• You identify opportunities, bottlenecks, and new developments, particularly at the intersection of knowledge management and digitalization, technology, and future-proof care (in relation to knowledge about visual impairment).

• You monitor the progress, coherence, and quality of knowledge activities and expertise programming.

• You maintain and strengthen collaborative relationships within Bartiméus and with external partners.

• You contribute to the connection between knowledge development, implementation, research, and learning and development.

Your role as Knowledge Management Advisor at Bartiméus in Zeist

At Bartiméus, we create knowledge that answers questions about living with a visual impairment; on all kinds of themes and for different life stages and conditions. Think of answering knowledge questions in the fields of diagnostics, work, relationships, mobility, technology, and social participation.

What makes this position special is the combination of advising, connecting, and organizing. You work together with professionals, researchers, experts by experience, and management. You switch easily between strategy and execution. One day you are thinking along about the direction of a knowledge area, the next day you are supporting professionals in executing knowledge activities, or you are bringing different parties together around a new issue.

As a knowledge management advisor, you bring knowledge, strategy, and practice together. You maintain visibility on developments within and outside Bartiméus, connect different knowledge areas, and help determine which knowledge is needed for the challenges of today and tomorrow. You contribute to ensuring that knowledge aligns with prevention, strengthening self-management, appropriate care, and the use of digital and technological possibilities. In this way, knowledge is deployed purposefully for future-proof care and support.
You do not work only within Bartiméus. Within the Kennis over Zien consortium, in which Bartiméus collaborates with Koninklijke Visio and the Robert Coppes Stichting, you also contribute to the development and dissemination of knowledge about visual impairments.

We are Bartiméus. With approximately 1,900 employees and over 850 volunteers, we are there for people in the Netherlands who are visually impaired or blind. Also if they have a multiple disability or experience problems with seeing due to, for example, non-congenital brain injury. We are there for their loved ones and for the professionals around them. They can turn to our expertise center, our itinerant service providers, our schools and residential facilities, and the various forms of day activities we offer. We do everything in our power to make it possible for people with a visual impairment to lead the life that suits them and to develop fully. Because it is not about what percentage you see. It is about what percentage you live. Bartiméus. 100% living.

You are someone who maintains an overview, sees connections, and knows how to connect people. You are curious, ask the right questions, and know how to bring content, interests, and processes together. You enjoy providing direction to developments without having to execute everything yourself. You bring structure, maintain sight of the big picture, and help others move forward. In doing so, you switch easily between strategic, tactical, and operational levels. You feel comfortable in an environment where not everything is fixed in advance. You see new challenges as an opportunity to build something and advance it together. You sense what is happening within an organization and understand how processes, decision-making, and interests work. You have experience with programmatic working, are result-oriented, and possess strong communication skills. You take initiative and can determine direction independently.

• A challenging job in which you work on the development and dissemination of knowledge about living with a visual impairment.

• A one-year contract for 28 to 32 hours per week.

• Salary appropriate to your experience, based on the CAO Gehandicaptenzorg (FWG 60) with a maximum of € 6,045 gross per month based on a 36-hour work week.

• Holiday allowance of 8%, an end-of-year bonus of 8.33% and an attractive flexible benefits system, through which you benefit from tax advantages on the purchase of, among other things, a (lease) bike, sports subscriptions, outings, a museum annual pass, and gift vouchers.

• Plenty of development and career growth opportunities in the form of an extensive induction program and an online offering of supporting training from 'GoodHabitz'.

• Collaboration with a dedicated and expert team within a national expertise organization.

• A wide network of colleagues and collaborative partners within and outside Bartiméus.
