Pedagogisch Professional (pedagogisch medewerker) | Regio Zuid | 8 tot 32 uur

About the organization

KION is the childcare organization of Nijmegen and the surrounding area. We give children a place where they can grow and develop. As a pedagogical employee you work at the after-school care (BSO), toddler groups (peutergroep) and/or the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf). Based on your education, preference, experience and availability we make agreements about the size of your contract.

About the role

At KION many possibilities are open to you. Do you want to work as a pedagogical professional at a daycare center, a VE toddler group or the after-school care? Would you prefer a fixed location or flexible work across multiple locations? Would you like many hours on contract or rather fewer? We are happy to discuss your work wishes and think along with you about the best match for you at one of the KION locations in the Zuid region: Nijmegen, Ooij, Malden, Mook, Molenhoek. In the versatile Zuid region we have locations around the Goffertpark, but also in the Ooijpolder and from Malden to the Mookerheide. Here you get the chance to be part of one or more close-knit teams where warmth, professionalism and cooperation are central. Together we look at which location or locations within your work area match your personal qualities and work wishes.

Responsibilities

• Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf): Provide the youngest children with the attention and care they deserve, actively contributing to their growth and development.
• After-school care (buitenschoolse opvang): Create a safe and familiar environment for older children where they can be themselves. Activities vary from working in the vegetable garden and making salads with homegrown tomatoes to building birdhouses from scrap wood.
• VE toddler group (VE peutergroep): Contribute to the language development of children aged 2 to 4 so they can transition to primary school with sufficient skills.
• Collaborate with partners: keep parents informed about their children's development, consult with primary school staff often present at our locations, and coordinate with sports teachers about various clinics.
• Develop your skills through courses and training via the KION Ontwikkelplein — from KinderEHBO to Babyspecialist, from Waardevol Samenwerken to Kinderyoga.
• If you do not yet have a VE certificate, you can obtain it with us when working at a VE toddler group.

Qualifications

• You must be qualified to work in childcare. Check whether your diploma meets the qualification requirements.
• To work at a daycare center you must meet the language requirement IKK; to work at a VE toddler group you must meet the language requirement 3F VE. (See Taaleisen in kinderopvang | Kinderopvang werkt!)
• A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is a mandatory part of the application procedure.
• References may be requested as part of the procedure.
• Personal qualities: you bring your talents (e.g., green fingers, musicality, creativity), working in a team gives you energy, you are open to giving and receiving feedback, you have a learning and positive attitude, and you dare to take on tasks — from parent contact to maintaining the online portal.

Benefits

• A warm welcome at one of our locations in Nijmegen and surroundings.
• Up to 32 hours on contract possible
