Interesting about this job
As a volunteer at one of our locations in Groningen city centre, you will get to know people who have lost control of their lives due to circumstances. At Wender, we provide a safe, trusted place for them where they can build on their future and (re)discover their talents.
You will join a dynamic team where you will be paired with a buddy who will show you around our organisation. Besides the volunteer coordinator, the buddy is your permanent contact in the team.
In addition, you will receive gratitude from residents and beautiful, valuable encounters. You can really mean something to another person. Three times a year, we organise a volunteer meeting with interesting topics and you can take advantage of additional training such as Motivational Interviewing and SCORE (dealing with undesirable behaviour).
Job tasks and duties
Through your efforts, our residents get creative. For example, by organising activities such as cooking, painting, drawing or an outing. In this way, you help them build rhythm into their day. Or you might be handy with computers and help others with that.
We will gladly think along with you about what is possible.
Job skills and qualities
You are on firm ground, thinking in terms of possibilities. In addition, you enjoy dealing with people and are able to build a bond of trust.
