Educational Coach
As a community-based child care organization, 2Samen believes in equal opportunities—including opportunities for development—for all children, both within our centers and beyond. As a Pedagogical Coach, you can play an important role in this. Because what if, starting today, you could work every day to empower your colleagues? What if you could help them bring out the best in themselves—and, as a result, in the children? What’s your next step? Apply now!
With 70 locations, 2Samen is deeply rooted in the communities of The Hague, Monster, and Naaldwijk. We are committed to giving every child a promising start in life. We are a non-profit organization and reinvest our funds into the quality of our childcare services. This includes, for example, partnerships with other local community organizations. At many of our daycare centers and preschool locations, we also provide Preschool Education (VE). The City of The Hague is fully committed to this initiative as well, as VE will be free for toddlers in The Hague starting in 2024. A positive development!
What does your day look like?
- In the morning, you’re in the infant group at one of your locations. Last week, you created a development plan together with one of the early childhood educators. Your role here is to coach, not to advise. By asking coaching questions, you’ve gained a clear understanding of her talents and can help her leverage her strengths. You can see that she’s really taking the initiative herself!
- Part of your job involves assisting with KIJK! registrations. At the end of the morning, you stop by the main office. You log into the system to check on the latest registrations and see if there’s anything you can do to help. You take care of a few emails and then enjoy a nice lunch with a couple of colleagues in the cozy cafeteria.
- In the afternoon, you’ll visit a new early childhood education center. To help these educators create a positive learning environment, you’ve completed a relevant associate’s degree program. There’s a challenging issue at hand, but fortunately, your educational knowledge is up to date. You energize, motivate, and inspire. You ensure that the staff can learn from and with one another at this new location as well. When you see that things are off to a good start, your day is complete, and you head home satisfied!
What do we offer?
- You will be paid according to the Childcare Collective Bargaining Agreement, Scale 9 (€3,332 – €4,544).
- 2Samen invests in your development through “Talent-thinking” and our development academy.
- Are we a good fit? If so, there’s a chance for a permanent contract.
