As a board member, you will reopen the Alzheimer Trefpunt Wageningen together with another board member, support volunteers and maintain contacts.
What are you going to do?
Your primary task is to ensure, together with the current board member, that there is as much attention as possible for people with dementia and knowledge about dealing with dementia in Wageningen. In this way, you, together with the other board members, make an important contribution to a more dementia-friendly society. You coordinate the reopening of the Alzheimer Trefpunt Wageningen, support the volunteers, maintain contacts within the municipality and other welfare organizations in Wageningen. In particular, good contact with Odensehuis Wageningen, Welsaam and project Wageningen dementia-friendly and the board of our department is important.
What do we have to offer you?
What can you expect from Alzheimer Nederland? You will end up in a warm, professional organization and work together with a group of passionate and committed people. Everyone works with unprecedented enthusiasm for the same goal. We do this from a good basis, because we think it is important that you can get started with pleasure. For example, we offer information about dementia and various training courses that match your position. We organize network meetings between departments and with colleagues at the national office and we take your voice in policy seriously. Of course, we reimburse travel and expenses and practical matters such as insurance are arranged.
The time spent can vary per week. Assume approximately 4 hours per week.
So are you someone who:
· Do you care about people with dementia and their caregivers?
· Are you good at planning and organizing?
· Want to be the driving and unifying force behind a group of volunteers?
· Do you have a relevant network or would you like to build one?
· Do you have approximately 4 hours per week available?
Then this is a position that would suit you well, and if you would like to know more, we would be happy to get in touch with you!
