Contract type: secondment
Work location: Emmen City Hall
If you work for the municipality of Emmen, you’re part of an organization where providing services to our residents and businesses is our top priority. We are the largest municipality in Drenthe and one of the 40 largest municipalities in the Netherlands. With about 900 colleagues, we work for and with more than 100,000 residents. We do this together with colleagues from various teams within our organization, with partners, other government agencies, businesses, and, of course, with residents.
We believe accessibility and transparency are important. With these two themes in mind, we are growing together into an organization that can share its information openly yet thoroughly with both residents and employees. The planned developments in the Woo and WeP are, for example, key to meeting the growing need for information in an ever-faster-changing society. After all, a robust publishing process ultimately enhances our transparency by giving people outside the organization insight into our information flows!
As a Woo Coordinator, you are the central figure when it comes to government transparency within the Municipality of Emmen. You ensure that requests for information under the Open Government Act (Woo) are handled carefully, in a timely manner, and in accordance with legal requirements.
- Coordination: You will oversee the status and progress of incoming Woo requests and Wob/Woo processes.
- Advising: You advise the board, management, and colleagues on the application of the Woo, confidentiality obligations, and the balancing of interests.
- Legal Review: You review documents for public disclosure, redact confidential or personally sensitive information, and conduct a legal review.
- Communication: You can easily coordinate with various departments, healthcare providers, and external parties or residents who request information.
- You will be responsible for writing, editing, compiling, and reviewing Woo files and decisions.
- You will receive, assist with, and evaluate incoming requests for comments.
- You have strong organizational skills, which enable you to contribute to the thorough and timely publication of Woo, WeP, and Who documents and files.
- You are active in various project groups, where you offer your views—both when asked and on your own initiative—on the implementation of the publication projects.
What do you bring?
- Education: You have completed a relevant associate’s or bachelor’s degree program, preferably in Law, Public Administration, or Information Science.
- Experience: You have demonstrable experience handling information requests and knowledge of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb) and the Open Government Act (Woo).
- Skills: You have strong organizational skills, work in a structured manner, keep a cool head in a political and administrative environment, and communicate clearly with residents and colleagues.
- Team Player: You are persuasive and actively seek constructive solutions within a dynamic organization.
What do we offer?
- A challenging position within a large, ambitious municipality in Drenthe with short lines of communication and an open culture.
