Omroep ZWART: Board Secretary

• A one-year contract, 24 hours per week, with a view to extension.
• A gross monthly salary of € 3,651 - € 6,173 gross per month based on 36 hours (scale H, broadcasting staff CAO), based on experience.

As board secretary, you will work closely with the Board and act as the connecting link between the Board, the Supervisory Board, the Members' Council, and the organization.
