Together with a dedicated team, we ensure that artists, visitors and clients feel welcome and events run smoothly. To strengthen our team, we are looking for a

Who are you?

You are a technically skilled doer with a strong sense of responsibility. You enjoy working independently, notice what needs to be done and take action where necessary. Hospitality is a natural part of your work: you are helpful, approachable and contribute to an environment where visitors and colleagues feel welcome.

Additionally, you bring:

• You are handy and have experience with technical and practical work.
• You are proactive and don't wait if something requires attention.
• You work carefully and have an eye for safety and maintaining the environment.

• A varied position at two special venues in the heart of Haarlem.
• An enthusiastic and diverse team with hospitable and passionate colleagues.
• An annual contract for 36 hours per week with prospects for permanent employment.
• The salary ranges, depending on knowledge and experience, between €2,400 and €3,025 gross per month based on 36 hours (scale 3 of the Dutch Theater Venues Collective Labor Agreement).
