Diversity & Inclusion Advisor

What will you be doing?
As a Diversity and Inclusion Advisor at the Dordrechts Museum, you will help foster an equitable and safe organization, ensuring that changes to the organization and its culture are properly introduced and embedded.

You will take the lead in working with the management team to develop a contemporary vision for diversity and inclusion. And that’s not all—you will also:

• You will translate this vision into an organization-wide action plan with specific goals and activities. You will base your work on the 4 Ps (public, staff, programming, and partners).
• You will also serve as a project manager to implement diversity and inclusion programs and projects, both in terms of content and process. In doing so, you will contribute to fundraising and securing external funding for programming and projects.
• You maintain a relevant network and stay informed about current and relevant developments at the national and local levels. By building connections, you conceive and develop collaborative projects for programming and partnerships.

What do you bring to the table?
For this role, we are looking for someone with a strong personality who takes the initiative. You are a connector with a diverse and professional network, and you enjoy interacting with people and do so with care. It helps if you approach situations with an open mind and are a good listener. You are inspiring and dare to be innovative in your approach. When necessary, you are critical and are not afraid to challenge others on substance. Empathy, creativity, and the ability to collaborate effectively are competencies we value highly for this position.

Additionally:

• Do you have extensive knowledge and work experience in the field of diversity and inclusion, preferably in the cultural sector?
• Do you communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing?

Where will you be working?
You will have an independent role with plenty of freedom to work in your own style. You will also work closely with a dedicated management team and great colleagues, such as a social activities educator and the internal D&I working group.

Who are we?
The Dordrechts Museum is a cultural organization (80 FTE) of the municipality of Dordrecht consisting of the Dordrecht Regional Archives and three museums with national and international appeal, namely: Huis Van Gijn, Het Hof van Nederland, and the Dordrechts Museum. We operate based on the belief that historical awareness and an appreciation for beauty enrich your life and thus contribute to a better society.

Our mission is to reach as broad an audience as possible with our collections, both within and outside our locations. In doing so, we actively seek collaboration and connection with our city and region. We are a museum for everyone, but we recognize that not everyone yet feels welcome in our museum. We want to change that by working on more inclusive programming that appeals to a diverse audience in collaboration with both long-standing and new partners. In doing so, we want our organization to be a true reflection of society. We already have a clear vision of the direction we want to take and are looking for someone with whom we can further explore and shape this direction.

What do we offer you?
You will have the opportunity to address important themes within the city’s largest cultural organization. In return, we offer excellent employment conditions:

• A one-year contract for 24 hours per week. If both parties are satisfied, we’ll offer you a permanent contract afterward.
• A gross monthly salary of up to €4,671 (pay scale 10, municipal collective bargaining agreement) based on a 36-hour workweek.
• An Individual Choice Budget (ICB) equal to 17.05% of your gross salary (including vacation pay and a year-end bonus). You can use this budget for things like: extra days off, your sports club membership fees, purchasing additional pension coverage, or a bicycle allowance.
• Commuting allowance and a work-from-home allowance.
• Parental leave.
• Health insurance reimbursement.
• A group premium discount with CZ, Menzis, or IZA.
• Accumulation of a voluntary pension through ABP.
