What are my obligations as a Jobcoach?

As a Jobcoach, you are of course obliged to provide what you have offered to your Jobtourists.

If for some reason you can not provide what you have offered, it is your responsibility to notify your Jobtourist before the Jobtour takes place so that he/she can reconsider the agreement with you.

What should I know about insurance and liability?

Each Jobtourist is responsible for his/her own insurance. The Jobcoach is not liable in any way. However, of course the Jobcoach must do everything possible to ensure a Jobtourist’s safety during a Jobtour.

IMPORTANT: A Jobtour does not represent an employment contract between a Jobcoach and a Jobtourist. Therefore, a Jobcoach can never pay a Jobtourist for work he has done while on a Jobtour. Rather, a Jobtourist pays a Jobcoach for sharing his professional knowledge and experience.

How does a Jobtourist notice my Jobtour offer?

We publish your Jobcoach profile on jobtourist.net for free. Whenever a Jobtourist searches for your profession on our site, your profile will appear among the search results. Then the Jobtourist can click on your profile and read about your Jobtour. He/she can then choose to contact you and request a Jobtour. After completing the Jobtour and reporting it to us, we will add a Jobtour to the Jobtour counter in your profile. This adds to your credibility as a Jobcoach for future Jobtourists.

How does a Jobtourist book a Jobtour with me?

1. The Jobtourist searches our platform and selects your profile from the search results.
2. The Jobtourist clicks on “Book a Jobtour” and then contacts you directly over the platform. You will receive all messages in your e-mail inbox and can then respond by sending a message over our platform.
   
3. Clarify the details of the Jobtour. A Jobtour is a unique, authentic and personal vacation experience. So a good personal connection between the Jobcoach and the Jobtourist is important. This initial contact is a good opportunity to make sure you are both “on the same page.”
4. When the Jobtourist is ready to book, send him/her a booking confirmation by clicking "Confirm Jobtour".Help
