Interesting about this job
What does a SchuldHulpMaatje do?
Groningen has many people who struggle with their administration and finances. Sometimes they lose overview and get into debt. Then it is of great value to have someone who listens, thinks along and offers practical help.
SchuldHulpMaatje Groningen is committed to giving these people perspective again. We do this with dozens of well-trained volunteers (buddies), who are supported by our coordinators. Together, they offer advice, support and guidance - giving people hope for a better future.
The aim of the support is for someone in debt to learn to solve their own problems as much as possible. Depending on the situation, this can be a long road.
First of all, a buddy gives someone hope that a chaotic - sometimes even hopeless - situation can be put right again. After that, a buddy creates order in the chaos by creating an overview of income and expenses, and by listing unpaid bills. To do this, he/she uses useful tools, such as an administrative file, a household booklet and a budget.
After this, a buddy makes a plan for resolution with the person seeking help. Usually, a buddy finds it a sport to look for ways to save or increase the aid applicant's income. Sometimes, for example, a person may not know about a financial settlement. A SchuldHulpMaatje supports by finding this out and applying for the facilities.
