For our three reception locations for Ukrainian refugees in Amsterdam, we are looking for three employees.
As a refugee shelter worker, you will contribute to our mission by guiding residents toward greater self-direction and independence, and creating a safe, stimulating environment in which building perspective and participation are central.
With us, you get the space to be outspoken - about what you see, what could be better and what you believe in. We believe in the power of diversity, for us as an organization and for the people we work for. We are aware that we have work to do in this ourselves. We cordially invite people of all ages, backgrounds, education and experience to respond. Your unique view of the world will help strengthen both our work and the city.
What will you do?
As an employee, you will be a pivotal figure in the reception of Ukrainian refugees, where residents - often in a vulnerable and insecure situation - need peace, safety and support. You provide a dignified, healthy living environment where they feel seen and can build on their future. In addition, you support the head of location by contributing to a well-organized and pleasant working environment for colleagues, volunteers and interns.
Within the frameworks set by the location head, you will contribute to the smooth daily running of the location. You ensure a safe and hospitable atmosphere, in which everyone feels welcome and seen. You have an eye for what is going on: questions and needs of guests you notice quickly, and together with colleagues - both inside and outside the organization - you look for appropriate answers or solutions.
In your contact with guests, local residents and others involved, you are approachable and friendly. In addition, you deal with administrative tasks and ensure a good transfer of information. You supervise volunteers and ensure that they feel supported and appreciated in their work.
You also initiate appropriate activities for different target groups, responding to their wishes and abilities. Together with residents, you think about future scenarios - both on an individual level and in a collective context - and thus make a valuable contribution to the development of the location and its environment.
In this position, a high degree of independence is important. You take initiative, think ahead and proactively pick up opportunities and signals to strengthen the quality of the work and the atmosphere at the location.
