Administrative talent

Are you someone who enjoys providing administrative support in the broadest sense of the word? Do you have a good working knowledge of Excel, particularly for creating lists, labels and the like, and are you reasonably proficient with Word? We are looking for someone who can bring order to things and support the administrator with day-to-day tasks, as well as handling phone calls – such as arranging and processing group appointments, as well as possibly helping with planning and timetables, liaising with volunteer hosts and hostesses, and archiving any documents that need to be kept.

On the other hand, we’re looking for someone who wants to be creative. We could also create a separate vacancy for this. Do you enjoy filling Dekema State’s social media with engaging content when there are special events? The advantage of being active here almost every week is that you’ll know what’s going on around the state and be able to use that knowledge creatively. This part of the role doesn’t have to be carried out from the office; with the right content, you could potentially do it from home. It would be good if you could coordinate the content closely with the administrator.

• A friendly group of volunteers to work with; we usually have a cup of coffee or tea together with the garden volunteers and/or the state’s hosts and hostesses
• 1 x annual volunteer outing
• Once a year a volunteer dinner and a small end-of-year gift
• Free admission to the state with a guest during the museum’s opening hours
• Prizes for volunteers in the form of Dekema products such as jam and the like. 
• From mid-December until the end of January, we are on our winter break and the office will be closed
• Flexibility regarding days worked; there are 4 workstations in the office, and currently a maximum of 3 are occupied per day

• Preferably available in June and part of September due to the managers’ holidays
• Knowledge of Excel and Word
• Organised and communicative; you always consult with the manager where necessary
• Reliable
• Ideally, creative and adept at using various social media platforms (not a requirement; this could also be a task for someone else)
