Over Rood
Register as a trajectory manager at Over Rood (volunteer work) Do you make a difference for entrepreneurs who are struggling with financial problems? These entrepreneurs are worried about the future and sometimes consider stopping as self-employed. They (often too late) find their way in the confusing world of care, but do not find the solution to an existence with sufficient financial security. Do you want to help them by being an equal discussion partner, who thinks along with them and can guide them towards a financially healthy future? What will you do as a volunteer? You guide entrepreneurs in going through a care trajectory via Over Rood. The objective of each trajectory is that the client can get started themselves to solve their problems and work towards a financially healthy future. However, no trajectory is the same. Sometimes the request for help is purely financial-administrative, while other entrepreneurs need support in the area of business operations. You share your knowledge and experience with your client and help them to get structure and overview in their business operations. You help with difficult choices. You are a sparring partner and offer a listening ear. You help entrepreneurs get out of a negative spiral and help them get back on track. On average, you guide 5 to 10 clients per year, with a time investment of approximately 4 hours per week. You work from home or from one of our 21 national branches, which you can find on our website. What do you get out of it? In addition to the appreciation of clients and satisfaction in your work, you have the opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the Dutch economy and a healthy business climate with your knowledge and experience. You meet socially committed colleagues who, just like you, use their knowledge, experience and strength to really make a difference for our clients. You have an independent position, in which you can determine your own hours and you can count on expert and professional support from the Over Rood organization. You will receive a solid and educational internal training and a (generous) expense allowance. Who is Over Rood? Over Rood is a national volunteer organization that has been helping entrepreneurs to regain overview and insight into their finances for over 10 years. More than 6,000 entrepreneurs are successfully helped every year. Over Rood has 20 branches spread across the country, which are led by branch managers. More than 200 volunteers now use their experience and knowledge to help colleagues selflessly. Not by taking over the problems, but by coaching and working together, with the aim of ensuring that the entrepreneur can work on a debt-free future on his own. Empathetic, unbiased and accessible are core values of Over Rood. Over Rood is growing rapidly. More and more entrepreneurs are calling on the organization or are referred by the municipality and other authorities. This requires more manpower. Do you recognize yourself in the profile of a trajectory manager at Over Rood? • You have knowledge and extensive experience as an independent entrepreneur, director, operational manager or business manager. Experience with debt problems is a plus. • You like to share your knowledge and experience and find it a challenge to get people into their own power. • You have knowledge of and experience with managing/coaching/guiding (groups of) people. • You are empathetic and can empathize with the client's problems, mental situation and living conditions, without becoming emotionally involved. You have understanding and patience and adapt to the client's pace. • You have a higher professional/university work and thinking level and are proficient in the Dutch language, both spoken and written. Register as a volunteer at Over Rood by sending a message. We will be happy to contact you.
