Companion to Walk, Cycle, or Swim Together

Do you like being active and do you enjoy exercising or going out together? For one of our clients, we are looking for a committed companion to walk, cycle, or swim together. With your company, you make movement not only more fun, but also more enjoyable.

At Grote Beer 4, (young) adults with a moderate intellectual disability and a form of autism live. Every client has their own interests, talents, and needs. Personal attention, structure, and trusted contacts play an important role in this.

For one of our clients, we are looking for a volunteer who enjoys being active together. Regular movement together provides not only relaxation, but also pleasure and valuable moments of contact.

Activities that you can undertake together include, for example:

• walking;
• cycling;
• swimming.

In addition to sports, our client has another great passion: Disney. He loves talking about this and enthusiastically shares his favorite films and characters. A conversation about Disney will therefore regularly be part of your meetings.
Preference is given to an appointment on Wednesday or Sunday, approximately once every two weeks.

With your commitment, you build a trusted bond step by step and give someone something to look forward to.

We are looking for a volunteer who:

• is confident in themselves;
• is steadfast and reliable;
• enjoys working together with the support staff;
• is willing to truly get to know and understand the client;
• has an affinity for people with an intellectual disability and autism.

The number of hours is in consultation. Naturally, we will take your schedule and possibilities into account.

• We take good care of our volunteers, because:
• you will receive an enthusiastic induction;
• you can claim your travel expenses (other expenses in consultation);
• there is an annual course offering on various themes;
• we regularly shine a spotlight on our volunteers;
• you receive a lot of appreciation and grateful responses, because thanks to your commitment, more becomes possible for our client.

At Ipse de Bruggen, you often work with vulnerable clients. Therefore, we are very careful in our selection policy. The application for a Certificate of Conduct (VOG), checking references, and requesting information from the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate are part of the selection procedure.
