For a joint project of Vluchtelingenwerk and Stimenz we are looking for two participation coaches who want to guide refugees.
Vluchtelingenwerk and Stimenz have joined forces for the Cultuurverbinders project. During this project, 6 refugees who have been in the Netherlands for a number of years will gain practical experience within various Stimenz teams for a period of 9 months. During this period, they will be supervised by participation coaches from Vluchtelingenwerk. As a coach, you will reflect on the experiences that the participant gains in the workplace, among other things. You will also work together on a Personal Development Plan (PDP). The goal of the project and for you as a coach is to support participants in taking steps towards sustainable participation.
