You are the right-hand man of the board members and a linchpin within the organization.
As a board assistant, you enjoy rolling up your sleeves and supporting the board with (mostly digital/administrative) tasks such as contact with external parties, online vacancy management, submitting internal and external questions, but also thinking along about strategic matters, policy, and organizational professionalization and innovation. You are the right hand of the board members and a spider in the web within the organization.
In this key role, you enable the board to focus on the main points and matters with the highest priority. You are very strong in organizing, prioritising and managing a wide range of internal and external issues. You participate in all consultations as much as possible, advising the board where necessary and subsequently helping to implement decisions and action points. You also have a smooth pen because you translate the plans to paper.
Furthermore, you are curious about new developments in the field of animal food banks in the Netherlands and pet welfare in general. In this, you provide the organization with solicited and unsolicited advice. Within this function, you have a lot of freedom and there is a lot of room to implement your new ideas together with the board within the foundation.
What are your responsibilities?
- Identifying important and/or potentially interesting developments within the industry and field of work and then translating these into the internal organization;
- Thinking along and advising the board on strategic issues. For example in the areas of policy, organisation and strategy;
- Supporting the board with all kinds of tasks, such as responding to incoming emails, online vacancy management, carrying out action points or decisions at meetings;
- Writing letters and other documents on behalf of the organization. For example, the policy plan, annual report or project plans;
- Monitoring processes, procedures and implementation of decisions.
We are looking for:
- Someone who identifies with and acts according to our core values: Reliable, helpful and committed;
- You are sociable, customer-friendly and have a broad social interest and view on things;
- You can work independently and in a team;
- Someone with a heart for pet welfare;
- Someone with flexible availability (everything in consultation);
- Someone for a longer period of time (at least 6 months);
- Someone with a lot of passion and hands-on commitment.
What do we offer you?
- A great and rewarding volunteer position at a cool foundation with committed volunteers;
- Annual outings, presents and gatherings;
- You can take interesting courses and training for free through the Dierenlot Academy and other volunteer organizations;
- You are collectively insured through the municipality.

About Stichting Dierenvoedselbank Vallei & Veluwe
Dierenvoedselbank Vallei en Veluwe is a charitable organization that has been dedicated since 2016 to supporting people in that region who live below the poverty line together with their pet(s), and are therefore unable to fully feed and care for their pets. This is a group that often lives in social isolation and for whom the pet holds great emotional value.
We provide supplementary pet food and supplies so that owners can responsibly keep and care for their pets. Additionally, we assist our clients with advice, information, and education, and mediate where necessary.
With a helpful, reliable, and committed team of volunteers, we operate regionally from our distribution locations in Wageningen, Ede, Renkum, Rhenen, and Veenendaal. As a result, over 500 separations between owners and pets due to financial reasons have been prevented in recent years. Dierenvoedselbank Vallei en Veluwe is a non-profit organization, but holds ANBI status.
