As a coordinator at Stichting Dierenvoedselbank Vallei & Veluwe, you are a true jack-of-all-trades and the central hub!
You are the first point of contact for the location managers and volunteers at a number of distribution locations, and you support the senior coordinator.
We currently have a total of five distribution locations, but we will determine the number of locations under your responsibility together. You will be coached by the senior coordinator. Together with the senior coordinator, the location managers, and volunteers, you ensure that everything is organized at the distribution points to ensure the bi-weekly distributions run smoothly. You are the link between the board, the location managers, and the volunteers at the locations.
What responsibilities do you have?
- You are responsible for the assigned locations (growing with experience). Additionally, you work as a backup for the senior coordinator at the other locations.
- You are the first point of contact for the site managers and volunteers of the assigned locations;
- Keeping track of (practical) questions from volunteers and ensuring that they are answered;
- In consultation with the local team of volunteers, you support the locations in ensuring a sufficient stock of dispensing materials;
- You are a true jack-of-all-trades. In addition to the aforementioned duties, you also maintain the central warehouse in Wageningen together with the senior coordinator. Furthermore, you assist with PR activities where necessary, such as distributing flyers. You collect large donations (together or alone), and every now and then you visit Stichting Dierenlot;
- You perform various odd jobs on a weekly basis, together with the senior coordinator;
- You are the link between the board and the volunteers;
- You monitor the agreed processes, procedures, and decisions, and hold people accountable if they are not followed;
- Identifying new developments at the locations and acting upon them where necessary;
- Attend meetings as much as possible, such as general meetings, venue manager meetings, and (internal) events.
We are looking for:
- Someone who identifies with and acts according to our core values: Reliable, helpful, and committed;
- Someone with guts, who is confident and dares to engage in discussions when necessary, both internally within our foundation and externally with our clients;
- Someone with a heart for animal welfare;
- Someone with flexible availability (all in consultation);
- Someone for a longer period (at least 6 months);
- Someone with a lot of passion and hands-on commitment;
- Someone with the clout to convey the foundation's mission and vision to the volunteers and our customers;
- Someone with strong problem-solving skills;
- Someone with a driver's license and their own transport. However, our foundation's vehicle can also be used in consultation.
What do we offer you?
- A wonderful and rewarding volunteer position at a cool foundation with committed volunteers;
- Annual outings, gifts, and gatherings;
- Through the Dierenlot Academy and other volunteer organizations, you can take interesting courses and training for free;
- You are collectively insured through the municipality.
Does this appeal to you, and would you like to work for the foundation? Then we are looking for you!

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.
