Buddy to break through loneliness

Humanitas • job opening nr. 14620

Interesting about this job

You can support someone who is taking a first step towards breaking his loneliness by doing fun things together. The person in question is a 60-year-old man. Due to anxiety, he has very little contact with people outside of work. Would you like to build a relationship with this gentleman? Would your presence help break his isolation?

Job tasks and duties

He seems to enjoy cooking together with a buddy, watching a movie once, doing some shopping together, cycling and playing chess. This also depends on what the volunteer likes, so together you determine the activities.

Job skills and qualities

  • You understand that someone suffers from anxiety.
  • You are empathetic.
  • The activities this gentleman wants to do together also appeal to you (or some of them).
