Volunteer tour guide

De Reiskoffer helps children who use a taxi (pupil transport) to learn to travel independently by public transport or by bike to and from school. This is done with the help of a volunteer supervisor and/or the GoOV app. The children become more independent, more self-reliant and gain more self-confidence. They will benefit from this for the rest of their lives!

What are you going to do?

As a volunteer supervisor, you guide children (mostly from special education) in learning to travel independently to and from school. Before you start guiding a child, you have an introductory meeting with the parent(s) and the child. Is there a click? Then you plan together when you will start. You practice once or twice a week, until the child has mastered the journey independently. This takes an average of 6-8 weeks. You have close contact with the project coordinator to monitor how things are going.

What do we ask of you?

You are someone who enjoys working with children. Parents/guardians give you their most precious possession. You are friendly, patient, offer trust, have a sense of responsibility and parents and child can count on you. Through your enthusiasm you ensure a positive experience for the students but also for the parents/guardians. You get a lot of appreciation and gratitude in return!

· you are willing to follow a (digital) supervisor course (one and a half hours);

· you can work independently;

· you speak Dutch well;

· you have a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) or are willing to apply for one;

· you live in the region.

What do we offer you?

This vacancy is also suitable for students who want to gain some extra experience during their free time.
