Would you like to coach families with their Personal Future Plan?

We'll soon be starting the two-day training for Personal Future Plan Coaches. During this training, you'll learn how to coach families in creating a Family Group Plan.

Every family can find themselves in a situation where extra support or practical help is needed. In many cases, friends, relatives, acquaintances, or neighbors can play a vital role. These network members can contribute ideas and participate in finding solutions and developing a plan. As a prospective coach, you'll activate and strengthen the network to create a plan together with the family. You'll initiate this process, monitor it, and bring everyone together. This allows the family to develop solutions that suit them, based on their own initiative and strength, and that can be integrated into any professional support they may need.

What will you do as a coach?

• Discuss with family members what situation they want to improve;
• Mapping the family's network members and approaching them to provide input;
• Invite network members to the meeting where the plan is made;
• Partly chair the meeting, digitize the plan and share it with network members and, if necessary, with the professional.

Who are you/what are we looking for?

• You have confidence in the inherent strength of families and you enjoy supporting families in finding their own options and solutions;
• You have an open attitude and a positive appearance and you are solution-oriented;
• You have a guiding, coaching way of working and you are at least 21 years old;
• It would be nice if you also speak another language and feel at home in another culture.

Period and working hours

You are available for an average of 1 hour per week and are free to plan your own hours.

What do you get in return?

• Training, guidance and intervision to be able to do the job well;
• The opportunity to develop your communication and coaching skills and gain experience as a coach;
• You will receive a volunteer contract and insurance;
• You will receive an annual gift;
• You will become part of an enthusiastic and experienced team;
• You will receive the fun 'Strong Together with Your Network' game, which you can also use during coaching;
• You have the opportunity to coach a family close to you or in another neighborhood.
