Location Coordinator| Amsterdam

Every child has the right to childcare, right? 

We at Vesper believe they do! Vesper is the very first BSO+ in the Amsterdam region and surrounding areas. We offer after-school care to children of primary school age with extra care needs due to their (mild) intellectual disability or developmental disorder such as autism or ADHD. 

We are very passionate and driven to scale up Vesper BSO+ and provide a solution for as many parents as possible in the Randstad and ultimately throughout the Netherlands. 

As Location Coordinator, you are the steady and trusted face of our location in Amsterdam. For the parents, the schools, and the colleagues, you are the first point of contact and ensure that the location runs smoothly. 

Together with the Pedagogical Supervisors, you ensure a safe climate in the group, where learning, playing, and relaxing are central. These are the three (most important) pillars at Vesper BSO+ that we offer the children. Together with a colleague, you manage a group of 8 to 10 children who play in small groups or just by themselves. You guide the children and provide structure, clarity, and positive reinforcement in the choices the children make. In a structured and safe environment, the children are given the space to (learn to) relax, to play, and to practice a bit of independence and social contact. 

In addition to working in the group for a number of afternoons, as a group supervisor plus, you hold ultimate responsibility for the location. This includes extra duties such as creating plans, contacting parents, the municipality, and the schools. Additionally, you ensure that all reports regarding the children are in order, ensure there is a well-stocked fridge and pantry, and provide requested and unrequested advice regarding the daily operations, child planning, and development of the location. 

Naturally, you possess the following qualifications:

• You have a completed MBO or HBO education in the direction of pedagogy, applied psychology, staff, disability care supervisor, social work, SPH or sports & movement;
• You are available at least 3 days per week;
• You have at least 1 year of work experience in youth care with a focus on group supervision and/or school supervision, parents and children with autism and/or complex systemic issues
• You are an enthusiastic, social, and driven person who has a proactive and independent working attitude;
• You reside in Amsterdam or the surrounding area;
• You are looking for a long-term challenge!

Vesper offers you not only an incredibly fun and dynamic working environment, we attach great value to your talent and personal development. Own initiative and input is highly appreciated, surprise us with your ideas! Additionally, Vesper offers you as Location Coordinator:

• A one-year contract for the number of days per week that you would like to work, with a view to permanent employment;
• A monthly salary  of € 2,874 to € 3,837 gross (scale 7 CAO Kinderopvang) based on a 36-hour work week;
• 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 4%;
• 210 vacation and leave hours per year, but only if you promise that you will return (based on a 36-hour work week);
• A reimbursement of your travel expenses;
• Various opportunities to further develop yourself as a specialist!
