Program leader Brunnepe
(4-8 hours per week)

Kampen is looking for a program leader to ensure that the Brunnepe neighborhood program comes to fruition with residents.

General information
Brunnepe is a pre-war neighborhood in Kampen. It is a neighborhood with a high cultural-historical value and special spatial structure. But the neighborhood is also outdated. The narrow streets lead to a lack of space. There is a growing need for parking, little green space and outdated buildings that are difficult to isolate. There are also areas of concern from the social domain such as loneliness, employment and social cohesion.

The challenges are numerous and cannot be solved in isolation. In the summer of 2023, the Brunnepe neighborhood vision was adopted. The program plan followed in March 2024. Now it is time to implement several projects. Examples are: parking research, inventory of municipal property redevelopment of green area 'Brunneper Bongerd' and an area development along the Reijersdijk and Dorpsstraat.

Program team and district team

A municipal program team has been established to bring these projects to fruition with the neighborhood. This program team consists of program leader, project leader(s), the neighborhood liaison, a program supporter and a social advisor. There is also a neighborhood team in which a number of residents work together with people from the municipality, housing corporation, police and welfare organization. Both teams work from a shared location in the neighborhood.

Brunnepe is the first neighborhood for which the municipality is creating such a neighborhood program. The program team Brunnepe also chooses an approach with a high degree of participation. The district team has an important role in this. The municipality wants to experiment with co-creation in which neighborhood residents themselves make choices about their living environment and take initiatives to further improve the quality of life in the neighborhood together.

Work Environment
Municipality of Kampen, with its 54,000 inhabitants and over 500 employees, has a nice size. Large enough to be professional and small enough to know everyone personally. We think that is also important in Kampen.

Professionalism and the provision of optimal service to citizens and businesses is central. The organization is constantly developing in this and works in an environment-oriented way. We are a learning organization. For the employees, the principles of ownership, less hierarchy and more self-organization apply. In Kampen we work result-oriented, on the basis of trust.

The Municipality of Kampen is an inclusive organization. We believe that with a diverse composition of the workforce, we are better prepared for the developments in society.
