Volunteer Internal Medicine/Geriatrics

Make a difference with your attention

Volunteer Internal Medicine / Geriatrics

A chat, reading the newspaper together, or playing a game: small moments of attention can mean a lot during a hospital stay. Do you want to contribute to a pleasant day for our patients? Then we would love to meet you!

For Ward F, where patients of Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, and Gastroenterology and Hepatology (MDL) are cared for, we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers.

When?

From Monday to Friday, from 09:30 to 12:30. You can commit yourself to one or more mornings per week. Together we will discuss which days suit you.

What will you do?

You provide patients with personal attention, in the common room or in their own room. Together with the activity coordinators and nurses, you ensure a pleasant atmosphere, structure, and distraction. You adapt to what a patient enjoys and is able to do.

You help, for example, with:

• Having a chat and offering a listening ear.
• Playing games together, reading the newspaper, or reading aloud.
• Inviting patients to participate in activities and appropriate movement.
• Offering food and drink and assisting during mealtimes, in coordination with the nurses.
• Sharing any observations you make with the activity coordinator or nurse.

With your time and attention, you help patients feel seen and welcome.

Who are we looking for?

You are social, reliable, and involved. You make contact easily and have patience and an eye for what someone needs. You also enjoy working together and contributing to a pleasant atmosphere on the ward.

Furthermore:

• Do you have an affinity for the elderly and people staying in the hospital due to illness.
• Do you take initiative and do you enjoy coming up with activities that suit the patient.
• Do you handle personal information carefully.
• Are you available on one or more weekday mornings.

Experience in healthcare is nice, but your involvement and personal attention are at least as valuable.

What do we offer you?

At Adrz, you do meaningful volunteer work. You work together with dedicated activity coordinators and nurses and contribute in a personal way to the well-being of our patients.

We will coordinate your commitment together and you will receive a travel allowance for commuting.

Your attention makes Adrz

At Adrz, we work together for good care in Zeeland. Our volunteers are of great value in this. With a warm welcome, a listening ear, and personal attention, they make the stay of patients a little more pleasant every day.
