Day Care Volunteer Leiden

Does it appeal to you to perform volunteer work that gives you true satisfaction? And do you find it valuable to support professional patient care? Then do not wait any longer and apply for this position where your talents and the needs of patients are taken as a starting point!

What are your main tasks?

We are looking for a volunteer for Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

• You consult with the nursing staff to see if there are any special circumstances or specific requests and you take over the OR phone;
• Together with the nurses, you bring patients to the OR and collect them again;
• You accompany patients to their room and, upon discharge, to the exit. You do this at the request of the nurse;
• At the beginning of the shift, you check if the beds are positioned correctly. It is important that the head of the bed is slightly raised and the foot of the bed is down;
• You assist, upon request, where necessary. This could include assisting with making beds, refilling cabinets, keeping the waiting area tidy, and helping with meals, etc.;
• You ensure that the corridors are tidy and easily passable for beds. You also ensure that blood pressure monitors and other large objects such as wheelchairs are all placed on the same side and do not block the way. Furthermore, you check the special bathroom on 3a and provide it with towels and washcloths if necessary.

At Alrijne, we take good care of people; patient, resident, employee, and volunteer. Your future is central to us. You can count on an excellent package of employment conditions including:

• A volunteer agreement/regulations;
• A travel allowance (according to CAO Hospitals);
• Free coffee and tea during shifts;
• Internal training or course opportunities;
• Staff prices in the restaurant;
• Free parking facilities;
• Relevant insurances, such as liability insurance and a collective health insurance;
• The appreciation of employees and patients from the hospital.

Within Alrijne, the group of over 300 enthusiastic volunteers plays an important role in the reception and stay of patients and visitors. Our volunteers support various departments within Alrijne with all kinds of occurring tasks, but primarily give the patient and visitor some well-deserved extra attention where possible.

For healthcare professionals, volunteers are a welcome addition. Volunteers make it possible for healthcare professionals to concentrate on their professional core tasks, while the volunteers provide extra attention to the care seeker. In addition, volunteers can be the eyes, ears, and ambassadors of Alrijne. Their presence, insights, and experiences can lead to improvements in the quality of service and the image of Alrijne.

• You have a service-oriented mindset, a customer-friendly attitude, and possess very good communication skills;
• You have good mobility in connection with, among other things, assisting people in a wheelchair to their room or to the exit upon discharge;
• You are able to work independently;
• You are available for at least one half-day per week.

Alrijne is a care group consisting of Alrijne hospital (with locations in Leiden, Leiderdorp, and Alphen aan den Rijn), Leythenrode nursing home, and Oudshoorn nursing home. At Alrijne, we believe in sincere attention. Sincere attention to all patients and residents in our hospitals and nursing homes, so that we can provide better care every day. And sincere attention to our colleagues, so that we can offer everyone a healthy, safe, and inspiring working environment. As one of the largest employers in our region, that is our goal. Additionally, we are pioneers in sustainability and work every day towards greener care. We care for the people who care for people.

Would you like to contribute to care with sincere attention as a host/hostess for day care? We would love to meet you. Send us your CV with a personal message included.
