Senior coordinator

As a senior coordinator at the Animal Food Bank Vallei & Veluwe, you have an overview of the distribution locations. You are the first point of contact for the location managers of all distribution locations assigned to you and make adjustments where necessary. Thanks to them, and because you visit the locations regularly, you know in general terms what is going on at all locations. Together with the location managers, you ensure that everything is arranged at the distribution points to ensure that the biweekly distributions run smoothly. For events and activities, you take care of all practical matters and organization, or delegate this to others.

You are the connecting link between the board, the location managers and volunteers of the locations. You will be supported by a coordinator and you will help him/her grow in his/her role.

• You perform various services every week, together with the junior coordinator;
• You are a true jack of all trades. In addition to the above-mentioned activities, you also maintain the central warehouse in Wageningen together with the junior coordinator. You also help with PR work such as handing out flyers. You collect large donations (together or alone), and every now and then you go to the Dierenlot Foundation;
• At events you take care of the practical organization;
• You are the connecting link between the board and the volunteers;
• You conduct job interviews with potential new volunteers for the location of distribution points;
• You guide the junior coordinator in carrying out and growing in his/her role;

• Identifying new developments or issues within the foundation and at the locations and taking action where necessary;
• You are present as much as possible at meetings such as general meetings, location manager meetings and events.
