Summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic coordinator for the tandem buddy project, which links volunteers to people who are in social isolation!

Detailed description

Job description:

You support the participant in expanding and strengthening the social network. You do this by doing something together that you both enjoy. You can go for a walk, cycle, drink coffee in the city, go to the market or visit a museum. Supportive conversations arise in a playful way.

Job requirements:

- you listen rather than talk. - you are open-minded, don't judge easily. - you have a searching attitude. - you can take the initiative and, above all, let the other person take it. - you enthuse, encourage but do not direct.

What can you offer the volunteer?:

- an enthusiastic volunteer team. - expert guidance and support. - internal training, team consultation and meeting meetings. - we learn a lot together by exchanging experiences with fellow volunteers. - Third party liability and accident insurance. - travel allowance.

What makes the work worthwhile?:

Our volunteers say: "It's nice to be on the road together, we didn't know where we ended up, but we made progress step by step." "I was involved and at the same time a neutral participant in what a participant is going through." "It has given me satisfaction, with no ulterior motive." "My buddy managed to bring out in me what I didn't know I had in me yet."
