Project Manager Housing Special Target Groups

Project overview

For the municipality of Bernheze, YER is looking for a Project Manager Housing Special Target Groups

The Position

Since the outbreak of the Ukraine war and the refugee crisis resulting from the problems in Ter Apel, the municipality of Bernheze has been steadily working on a solution for the reception of various groups of people. The municipality of Bernheze is a welcoming municipality

and wishes to implement the Distribution Act.

As the task is primarily a housing task, and the supporting or advisory component (integration, participation, and work) can only be addressed afterward, it is of great importance that the project manager has strategic knowledge and experience in the field of

housing asylum seekers or Ukrainians. Experience with setting up an AZC is a plus.

Given the sensitivities surrounding the many different aspects of this broad issue, we are looking for someone with extensive experience in the political-administrative domain. Familiarity with the region is preferred.

Objective of the Assignment

The assignment is the hiring of a senior project manager for 36 hours per week.

The project manager is primarily responsible for housing 250 asylum seekers in an AZC. If time permits, the project manager will also focus on realizing additional reception for Ukrainians.
