RSG Enkhuizen is looking for a Support Coordinator/ Orthopedist

In this versatile role, you play a central role in supporting our students. But just as important: you ensure that the people around the student can find each other.
You are an important link within our school. You work closely with school leaders, mentors, teachers, student counsellors and other professionals, ensuring that support is well aligned with what happens in the classroom on a daily basis. You are visible, accessible and know what is going on.
At the same time, you maintain oversight. You coordinate support, monitor processes and agreements, and ensure that it is clear who is responsible for what. You bring the right people together and ensure that the agreements made are actually followed up.
In short: you connects, coordinates and develops.

You will find yourself in a committed team where collaboration, professional growth, and attention to students are central. You will work within a school with a clear educational vision, where there is room for self-initiative, expertise, and development. Together, we create a safe and rewarding learning environment in which every student can develop to their full potential.

What will you do?
As a support coordinator, you take the lead in managing the internal and external support within RSG Enkhuizen. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Your strength lies in organizing, connecting, coordinating, and monitoring the support.
You are the central point of contact who maintains overview and ensures coherence between all involved parties. The function profile explicitly specifies the coordination of the support team, the support for external courses, and the operational coordination of student advisors.

Your duties will include:
  • You coordinate the support of students who need extra support and provide support and advice to school leaders, mentors, teachers and student counsellors.
  • You ensure a strong connection between the support team and the day-to-day teaching practice, and maintain active contact with mentors and teachers.
  • You monitor processes, agreements, and progress, and ensure that those involved know what is expected of them.
  • You attend MDO meetings and other relevant meetings and coordinate the work involved, including reporting, follow-up on agreements, and contact with external parties.
  • You play an active role in the development and progress of inclusive education and advise the school leadership on this matter.
  • You analyze the results and effects of the support and translate developments into proposals for improving the support policy. 
  • You maintain contacts with external partners, such as the cooperation association, the school guidance team, youth and school coaches, youth care services, the Public Health Service and the Mental Health Service.
  • You ask the cooperation association for (extra-curricular) arrangements where necessary.
  • You inform and advise parents/caregivers and primary schools about support options.
  • You advise on the admission of students with special support needs and contribute to a smooth (warm) transition.
  • You contribute your expertise to the professionalization of colleagues and to the further development of the support structure within the school.
Connecting is an important part of your role
Good student support is crucial to us, and it depends on the connection between support and education. That’s why we’re looking for someone who works not only within the support team, but is right in the middle of the school itself.
You actively seek mentors and teachers, listen to what they need, and help them further based on your expertise. You make complex support requests accessible and bring people together when different perspectives or expertise are needed.
In doing so, you can also be clear. You dare to set direction, assign responsibilities, and call out colleagues for their commitments, while maintaining good cooperation and relationships.
The existing function profile underscores that connective role: the support coordinator maintains contacts with, among others, student advisors, the support team, teachers, parents/caregivers, the management, external support professionals, and other support professionals.

Job requirements

What do we ask?
For this position, we are looking for someone with a solid foundation in content and the ability to use that expertise to help others.
You have:
  • a completed degree in Orthopedics or Educational Sciences;
  • preferably experience in a similar position within secondary education;
  • theoretical and practical knowledge of youth support services, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, student guidance and support structures;
  • knowledge of the organization of educational processes;
  • knowledge of didactic methods and techniques and the ability to apply them;
  • good skills in guiding and advising professionals;
  • Experience in developing and monitoring action plans and implementation plans;
  • the ability to analyze complex support requests and translate them into concrete and appropriate actions;
  • good communication skills and the ability to easily connect with different people and disciplines;
  • good ICT skills and the ability to effectively deploy digital systems for registration, information exchange, monitoring and monitoring progress;
  • a flexible attitude and the ability to maintain an overview even in a dynamic environment.
The requested substantive expertise aligns with the existing job profile, which includes knowledge of orthopedagogics and orthodidactics, support structures, and the mentoring of teams and individual teachers.

Who are you?
Above all, you are a communicator with an overview. You take it for granted to seek collaboration and are visible and approachable to colleagues.
You can listen well and are also action-oriented. You see what is needed, take initiative, and ensure that things actually get moving. You keep an overview when multiple support requests are simultaneously in play and are able to prioritize well.
You feel at home in a role where you sometimes stand next to a colleague, sometimes advise, and sometimes take the lead explicitly.
Do you have a connection with our target audience and do you strongly identify with this role, but do you not yet possess all the required knowledge and experience? Then we invite you to still apply. We believe in professional development and would be happy to discuss together what you need to grow further in your role.
