Activity Coordinator (Temporary)

As an activity coordinator, you ensure a varied and appropriate range of activities for our residents. You organize and supervise, among other things, cooking activities, fitness, creative activities, game afternoons, movie nights, walks, and various outings. You also supervise the daily coffee drop-in and provide support with the daily structure where necessary.

You align with the interests and goals of residents and encourage them to make social contacts and participate in activities both inside and outside the location. To this end, you maintain contact with local organizations and guide residents where necessary with individual questions, for example regarding volunteer work. You report on your client contacts, work closely with the residential supervisors, and join the team meeting every other week. Additionally, you maintain the financial records regarding activities and location expenses and assist in organizing, for example, a team outing and the annual BBQ. This concerns a temporary position of 16 hours per week, from December 1, 2026, until expected December 1, 2027. You work on regular workdays and working hours, in consultation with the team. In December, there is room to be properly onboarded together with the current activity coordinator and to hand over the duties.

The clients live independently, with tailored guidance in various areas of life.
