Job vacancy

Hospitality and Sport Coordinator, Curaçao

📅StartEarly January 2027📍LocationWillemstad, Curaçao⏱️Hours32 to 36 per week, flexible💶Reimbursement€1,500 to €1,750 per month

In Curaçao, we run sports sessions for children who have little space at home to play and be active. Every year, we welcome many students and volunteers there. As coordinator, you’ll be the face of The Power of Sports on the island: you’ll ensure that interns and volunteers are made to feel welcome, that the sports programmes are rock-solid, and that everything runs smoothly. At the moment, we’re still providing weekly support from the UK. You’ll be taking that on.

Sports programmes

You will ensure that training sessions with schools, clubs and partners run smoothly, motivate the students, assess trainees in collaboration with their schools, and monitor the quality of every lesson.

🏠

Hospitality

You will organise the reception and induction of interns and volunteers, be responsible for day-to-day operations in and around the accommodation, and be there for the participants when things aren’t going so well.

📋

Organisation

You will maintain contact with schools and partners on the island, keep an eye on the schedule, handle the financial side of things in consultation with the Netherlands, and contribute ideas on how to improve things day by day.

  • You speak Dutch and English well. Knowledge of Papiamentu or Spanish would be an advantage.
