Office Assistant

We try to highlight everyday themes as much as possible, so that our performances resonate with everyone. We tour all over the country and even beyond. We visit theaters and schools, but we also perform at soccer clubs and festivals. And we do so much more! For example, we develop art classes for elementary schools in Almere, create YouTube series, produce podcasts for and by children, and occasionally write a children’s book. We don’t like to be pigeonholed and believe it’s important to keep evolving.

What will you be doing?

As an Office Assistant, you’ll be the backbone of our team. You’ll make sure everything runs smoothly in the office. From answering the phone to organizing meetings, and from ordering printed materials to arranging lunches for rehearsals—you’ll handle it all. You’ll also support the administrative side of our organization, for example by helping with contracts and paperwork.

• You will handle practical matters such as hotel reservations, lunches, and room scheduling.
• You will keep the office tidy, greet visitors, and organize meetings and gatherings.
• You manage the executive team's schedule.

Who are you?

• You have the academic and intellectual level equivalent to an MBO+ or HBO degree.

• You have a practical mindset, see what needs to be done, and get right to it.
• You have strong communication skills and are fluent in spoken and written Dutch.
• You have experience with computers and programs such as Word and Excel.
• You have an interest in culture, and if your background helps make our team more diverse, we especially encourage you to apply!

What do we offer you?

Everyone is welcome to apply. Where you’re from, what degrees you have, or who you love—it doesn’t matter to us! We’re looking for new, fresh ideas. If you’re still unsure whether you meet the requirements but are enthusiastic about BonteHond, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
