Summary

Wanted: coaches to guide new Wageningen students with practical and administrative matters. The initial involvement will be intensive, but will gradually be scaled back.

Detailed description

We are looking for immediate

Volunteers who have 2 half days per week to guide a new Wageninger from the start and show them the way.

First, it involves many practical and administrative matters; then it is important to arrange everything together so that the status holders feel comfortable and can build a life.

We call it: social guidance. And your title then becomes "coach".


Time investment

Usually it is a bit more intensive in the beginning and depending on the need/demand it can be more extensive afterwards.


What do you need

What you need: patience, flexibility, cultural sensitivity and team spirit.


What do we offer?

As an organization we offer you a great team and interesting training courses.

There is a clear route, there is a manual and you get an experienced coach as a back-up. Annet Timmerman is your committed team leader. We work from Markt 17.


Immediately

Due to the vacancy of apartments in the old City Office this summer, at least 5 new status holders (single people) will come to live in Wageningen in the coming weeks. In addition, families from Syria and Iraq will also come to live in the Netherlands this summer, for which second coaches are still needed.

We will guide you at least the first year (sometimes longer). To build a relationship of trust, it is therefore nice if interested parties also commit themselves for at least a year.

Are you up for a new adventure, close to home?!? We look forward to hearing from you!
