For an elderly lady we are looking for a volunteer who wants to take her for a walk every now and then so that she can keep moving and gain energy.

For a friendly and modest elderly lady, born in 1941, we are looking for a buddy who wants to walk with her and offers her company and a listening ear in bad weather. The lady has a hernia and walks with a walker. She hasn't been outside in ages, she says. She is looking for a buddy who visits her once every 2 weeks. Mrs likes puzzles and likes to watch television. A point of attention is that the lady smokes, but she will not do this in front of the volunteer.


Job requirements:

  • You are a good listener
  • You are open minded
  • You can take initiative, but above all give the other person the space to take it


What do we have to offer the volunteer?

  • an enthusiastic volunteer team
  • expert guidance and support
  • basic training and meeting meetings
  • WA and accident insurance
  • travel allowance

Getting there

About Humanitas Ontmoet

Humanitas is there for people who like to go outside now and then, but can't do that themselves without a buddy (anymore). By doing activities with a buddy, they can (again) keep in touch with society.
