Walking volunteer

Are you someone who loves being outdoors and enjoys a good conversation? For a female resident aged 83, we are looking for a volunteer who wants to go walking with her 1 to 2 times per week. She walks independently and enjoys good company. A short walk is already sufficient, and if you like, she also enjoys going to the shops together sometimes. The days and times are flexible and by arrangement. With 2 to 3 hours per week, you will already make a big difference in her week. Everyone is welcome to respond.

In the quiet and wooded Doorn lies the sheltered housing location de Sitiolaan. The location is easily accessible by public transport. Here, guidance is provided to an average of 30 clients, divided into two groups: long-term stay and temporary stay. We are looking for a volunteer for the long-term stay team. Clients with psychological vulnerabilities live in this group. The age varies between 50 to 90 years. The guidance is focused on practical and psychological support, to ensure that people can continue to live at the location for as long, healthy, and independently as possible.
In this position, you will be working for team 1. Watch the location video for more information.
