Job description
To strengthen our team, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who want to supervise weekly play and exercise activities for refugee children in Luttelgeest.

- Approx. Available 4 hours a week from approximately 3.30 pm (day and time vary per location);
- You have the intention to commit to TeamUp for a longer period of time. Stability is essential for this vulnerable group of children;

- Training and follow-up training in facilitating the activities and working with the specific target group;
- First aid course;
- counseling and stress management sessions;

Child safety is essential for TeamUp. TeamUp therefore does not accept any form of abuse. This subject is addressed in our recruitment and selection procedures.
TeamUp is a joint program of Save the Children, UNICEF Netherlands and War Child. TeamUp is made possible in part by the Fund for Asylum, Migration and Integration (AMIF).
