Extra information
In Selwerd, Paddepoel and Tuinwijk, many children grow up in poverty. The children in these neighbourhoods are relatively often not ready for school when they enter primary school. There is also loneliness in single-parent families. Parents do not always know where to find help and get in touch with other people. The Speelotheek+ provides an accessible meeting place, offering toys that promote children's broad development. Here, parents, volunteers and a professional can come into contact with each other. This makes it easy to share knowledge and enables referrals to, for example, VVE, generally accessible childcare or WIJ Groningen. Then email your motivation to vct@wij.groningen.nl. For questions about the vacancy, please contact Annemieke Broer on 06 21337194. Applying for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is part of the procedure.
