Active centipede

We are looking for a volunteer for one of our residential groups who can come by for a half-day (morning or afternoon) once a week or every two weeks to meet the clients.

You literally meet clients at the kitchen table. You'll naturally see who's coming and what they're interested in, whether it's a chat, a game, a walk, or an outing with one client. No two days are the same, and the client rotation varies each time.

This is you

You're open-minded. You're sociable and flexible, and you enjoy simply letting things happen, without a fixed plan for how the day will be structured. You can respond to the client's needs on the spot.

You can empathize with others without judgment. You're trustworthy and able to establish positive relationships with our clients. You naturally engage and inspire our clients. When necessary, you can also be clear and set boundaries.

You are available on Thursdays, Fridays, or weekends, preferably one half-day per week (2 to 4 hours). Possession of a driver's license and/or a car is a plus.

How do we proceed?

After you register, we'll have an introductory meeting where we'd love to hear from you about who you are, what your hobbies are, and what makes you happy. If we think we can be of assistance to each other, we'll schedule a meeting with your regular contact person who works at the property in question.

What do you get in return?

Of course, you'll receive a lot in return for your enthusiastic efforts. You'll experience how important your attention is in our client's lives.

We ensure that you can carry out your volunteer work well and we offer:

- accompaniment

- opportunity for training and education

- an insurance

- a volunteer agreement in which the agreements are recorded

- and a volunteer allowance.

Getting excited

If you're interested, please sign up. After you register, we'll have an introductory meeting where we'll tell you about IrisZorg, the Hoogeland location, and the residential home in question. If we reach a mutual agreement, we'll arrange an initial meeting.
