Interesting about this job
The activities can be very different in nature: meeting and connecting, developing your creativity, exercising and promoting health, or supporting with certain questions. There are activities where residents themselves participate in groups or individually, and others where you can come and watch and listen more passively. These activities are often carried out under the guidance of a "tutor" or "volunteer" for that particular activity.
We aim to keep access to activities low-threshold and prices affordable for everyone. Hospitality and service orientation are our top priorities. Day-to-day management is in the hands of professional paid staff and volunteers.
We welcome new suggestions and initiatives from local residents. Of course, everything has to fit within the budget provided by the Municipality.
