Vacancy: Diaconal worker Teylingen
Diaconal pioneering with and on behalf of Protestant churches in Teylingen.
(Havenkerk CGK Sassenheim; PG Sassenheim, PG Voorhout and PG Warmond)
Do you have a heart for justice and mercy? Are you the ‘eyes and ears’ in the Bulb Region of Teylingen and do you know how to make the connection between our church communities and the people around us? Then we are looking for you!
Protestant congregations are a community that lives by the conviction: ‘God's grace is enough’. We see our faith as a ‘treasure to be distributed’.
Our core values focus on celebrating together with all generations, believing together, being a church together and - crucial to this function - serving together.
What will you do?
As a diaconal worker, you are a professional connector and bring people together. You are at the centre of the Teylingen municipality and integrate into our faith communities.
- Networking & signalling: You are the ‘eyes and ears’ in our 3 villages for people who fall between the cracks; you liaise with social (aid) organisations and surrounding churches.
- Practical help & meeting: You will organise activities to connect people with each other
- Inspiration: You encourage the congregation's diaconal vocation and share stories about the work, for example after the church service.
Who are you?
- Liaison: You connect easily, you are a networker and can work well with professionals (such as our own pastors) and volunteers
- Proactive & energetic: You think outside the box and work purposefully to build new initiatives
- Beliefs: You work from an open Christian inspiration and know how to enthuse others with it
- Familiar with the street: You have experience in the field and do not hesitate to approach people
- Education: You have a relevant education (e.g. HBO Theology/GPW or at least MBO-4 Social Work).
What do we offer?
- A meaningful job of 0.4 to 0.6 FTE
- A one-year employment contract with the intention to extend up to 2 years
- Good working conditions according to the Terms of Employment of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands.
- The opportunity to do pioneering work within a community that wants to look out for people in need from the gospel.
