Trainer (f) Heroine Kennemerland

Do you want to contribute to the self-confidence of women, so that they can and dare to take control in an emergency situation? Do you have experience or affinity with giving training or do you easily stand in front of a group? Are you a strong communicator? Then respond to this position now!

What is Heroine?

Heldin is a course for women who find it difficult to act in emergency situations. During the course, participants not only work very specifically on their first aid knowledge, but also on self-confidence, assertiveness and effective communication.

Heldin teaches women to cope in various challenging situations and makes them feel more confident about their own abilities. As a result, they not only know what to do in an emergency, but they also dare to act and remain calm.

Heldin consists of individual introductory talks, seven meetings of 2.5 hours and an AED course, all provided by two volunteer Heldin trainers. We organize this in collaboration with schools, community centers and other social organizations.

We are currently looking for trainers to teach these courses!
