Opis
SIW International Volunteer Projects is seeking a creative and motivated volunteer with high IT skills to join our team for a one-year European Solidarity Corps (ESC) project. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in IT while supporting meaningful global projects. SIW is an exchange organization mostly run by volunteers, offering international volunteer placements locally and worldwide. As an ESC volunteer, you will be helping us with our brandnew CRM system. You'll mostly be doing automations and integrations, troubleshooting when necessary and you'll be helping out with workspace and user management. You may also contribute to office tasks and hands-on activities like cultural activity planning for volunteers. In addition, you'll have time for personal development, with help of a personal mentor.
Zakwaterowanie, wyżywienie i transport
Our office is in the heart of Utrecht, a vibrant historic university city in the centre of the Netherlands. Your apartment with a private bedroom and shared kitchen/living area is above the office. The trainstation and restaurants, bars and shops are all within walking distance. We also have a bicycle for you so you can move around like a real Dutchie. Of course you will receive monthly pocket money and food money. Travel costs are reimbursed for the trip from home to the project and back, based on distance. We encourage you to travel green and come by train or bus.
Szkolenie w trakcie działania
Half a working day a week is dedicated to your self-development. To reflect on your progress, tasks and personal goals you will have meetings with your mentor and the ESC coordinator. You will attend the on-arrival and mid-term training organised by the National Agency and meet volunteers of other ESC projects within the Netherlands. SIW will offer you different assignments and training opportunities and you will be able to learn Dutch. We will assign you a buddy who can help with practical questions, finding fun activities, or even doing them together.
