Nutrition Educator Community Wellness Sessions

For our "Op Eigen Kracht" training sessions, we're looking for someone who enjoys teaching people about healthy and affordable food.

"Op Eigen Kracht" is a training program for people who (temporarily) have a bit less disposable income and want more peace of mind and a clearer overview of their finances. The goal of the program is to promote financial self‑reliance and boost self‑esteem, thereby increasing social participation. The program takes place at accessible locations in various city districts, such as the Huizen van de Wijk.

• Provide interactive information sessions on healthy and affordable nutrition during one of the “Op Eigen Kracht” training sessions.
• Refer participants with complex questions to their primary care physician
• Discuss the following 3 topics (based on information from the Netherlands Nutrition Center) during the session:
  • What is a healthy diet, and what do you need?
  • What are affordable foods?
  • How and for how long can you store food?

• Educational background in, for example, nutrition, health sciences, or dietetics
• And/or knowledge and experience in the field of nutrition
• Service‑oriented, affinity with the target group, socially engaged
• A sociable, open, and friendly attitude toward participants from diverse backgrounds
• Ability to handle information related to the training and participants confidentially

• Direct communication and flexibility: the frequency of briefings varies
• An enthusiastic team in a dynamic environment and a fun organization
• Opportunity to take free training courses through the Volunteer Academy

To be determined. The training sessions take place at various locations in Amsterdam.
