Summary

As a coordinator at the Vallei & Veluwe Animal Food Bank Foundation, you are a true jack-of-all-trades and the spider in the web!

Detailed description

You are the first point of contact for the location managers and volunteers of a number of distribution locations, and you support the senior coordinator.  

We currently have a total of five distribution locations, but we will coordinate 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 arranged at the distribution points to ensure that the biweekly distributions run smoothly. You are the connecting link between the board, the location managers and volunteers of the locations.  

 

What are your responsibilities?  

  • You are responsible for the assigned locations (growing according to experience). In addition, you work as a backup for the senior coordinator for the other locations.  
  • You are the first point of contact for the location managers and volunteers of the assigned locations;  
  • Keep track of (practical) questions from volunteers and ensure that they are answered;  
  • In consultation with the local team of volunteers, you support the locations in ensuring sufficient stock of distribution materials;  
  • You are a true jack-of-all-trades. In addition to the above-mentioned activities, you also maintain the central warehouse in Wageningen together with the senior coordinator. Furthermore, you help with PR activities where necessary, such as handing out flyers. You collect (together or alone) large donations, and every now and then you go to Stichting Dierenlot;  
  • You perform various manual and auxiliary duties on a weekly basis, together with the senior coordinator;  
  • You are the connecting link between the board and the volunteers;  
  • You monitor the agreed processes, procedures and decisions, and address people if these are not followed;  
  • Identifying new developments at the locations and taking action where necessary;  
  • Attend meetings such as general meetings, location management meetings and (internal) events as much as possible.  

 

 

We are looking for:  

  • Someone who identifies with and acts according to our core values: Reliable, helpful and committed;  
  • Someone with courage, who stands firm and dares to engage in discussions when necessary, both internally within our foundation and externally to our customers;  
  • 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;  
  • Someone with the power to convey the foundation's mission and vision to the volunteers and our customers;  
  • Someone with a great solution-oriented ability;  
  • Someone with a driver's license and own transportation. However, in consultation, the transportation of our foundation can also be used.  

 

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.


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

Animal Food Bank Vallei en Veluwe is a charity that has been advocating for people in that region since 2016 who, together with their pet(s), live below the poverty line and are therefore unable to fully feed and maintain their pet(s). A group that often lives in social isolation and for whom the pet is of great emotional value.

We provide additional pet food and pet supplies so that owners can keep and care for their pets responsibly. We also help our customers with advice, information and education, and we mediate where necessary.

With a helpful, reliable and committed team of volunteers, we work regionally from our distribution locations in Wageningen, Ede, Renkum, Rhenen and Veenendaal. This has prevented more than 500 farewells between owner and pet for financial reasons in recent years. Animal food bank Vallei en Veluwe is a non-profit organization, but it does have ANBI status.
