• A gross monthly salary according to the VVT collective labor agreement, FWG 45
• 16 to 24 hours
• Plenty of room for own initiative, development, and collaboration
• Working in a committed team of colleagues and volunteers

A meeting place where residents meet each other, stay active, and collectively give meaning to the day. Where volunteers, professionals, and neighbors strengthen one another and where there is room for new ideas and initiatives.

As Community Center Coordinator, you are the hub of the community center. You ensure a warm and welcoming environment in which visitors feel welcome and can participate in a way that suits them. You support volunteers, coordinate daily operations, and, together with colleagues and residents, develop an attractive range of activities.

But your role goes beyond the community center alone. Together with colleagues from residential care center Ewoud & Elizabeth and the neighborhood network, you contribute to a caring neighborhood in which residents know how to find and support each other and take collective responsibility for aging pleasantly in the neighborhood.

Your responsibilities include

• Together with your colleagues, you offer substantive activities focused on meaning-making, reminiscence, and identity reinforcement for elderly people with cognitive decline.
• You are the substantive leader and support colleagues in monitoring the quality of the offering.
• You are actively present in the group and support visitors in the daily program. You create a safe, trusted, and stimulating environment in which participants feel seen and can participate in a way that suits them.
• You coordinate the activities surrounding the admission of new participants and monitor the planning and overview.
• You maintain contacts with the dementia network and actively seek collaboration with volunteers and local partners.
• Together with colleagues, you align on new developments and contribute to the further development of the community center.

You get energy from connecting people. You see opportunities in the neighborhood, listen to what residents need, and know how to turn ideas into concrete actions. You enjoy working together, but also dare to take initiative and assume responsibility.

Let's meet!
