During the meetings themselves, you will be supported by volunteers who speak the language of the participants. The meetings are regularly organized in Enschede, Oldenzaal, Hof van Twente, Hengelo, Dinkelland/Tubbergen and Losser.

Leendert Vriel Almelo
Leendert Vriel Almelo is looking for volunteers for home care Many people have a great desire to die at home, but sometimes it is difficult for loved ones to continue this care. Volunteers from the Leendert Vriel Foundation offer time, attention and support to the sick person and their loved ones in this final phase of life. There is close cooperation with home care organizations. The volunteers do not perform nursing tasks, but can help with the care that the informal caregivers also provide. The volunteer can take over the care for a while so that the informal caregiver can sleep peacefully or do something during the day, knowing that his/her loved one is not alone. Leendert Vriel Almelo e.o. (working in the municipalities of Almelo, Hellendoorn, Rijssen, Tubbergen, Twenterand and Wierden) is looking for new volunteers, both men and women. They keep watch during the day and/or at night for people who are seriously ill and want to be cared for at home until they die. A volunteer: “it is beautiful work, which gives a lot of satisfaction. As a volunteer you can mean a lot to people who are going through the most difficult period of their lives. Just by “being there”. No specific prior education is required for this volunteer work. Emotional stability, motivation and an open attitude are necessary. In order to be well prepared for this work, in which personal attention is central, new volunteers first follow an introductory course. Are you attracted to this form of care and would you like to register as a volunteer? Then send a message or call telephone number [phone number hidden]. You can also find more information on our website [website hidden]

You get a beautiful world in return! We are looking for volunteers who want to be responsible for interviewing and matching host families and 'guests'. Our guests are status holders and now have a residence permit. Our Matchmakers match these families and guests and guide them during the stay. These guests will live in a municipality in Overijssel. When a status holder stays with a Dutch host family, both our guest and our host family learn from each other in an accessible way. The guest gets a unique insight into Dutch culture and gets the chance to master the language and customs. The host family in turn learns a lot about the culture of the guest. Great neighbourliness! Almost all our host families experience this stay as an enrichment in their lives. The best thing is when the match is in the region where the guest is eventually assigned a home, the so-called 'coupled municipality'. In this way, we give status holders a better start in their new environment! What will you do as a Matchmaker? As a Matchmaker, you interview our guests at the AZC or elsewhere and our host families at their homes. You inform them about the procedure of a match. Do you think a guest and host family are a successful match? Then you introduce them to each other and hopefully a match will follow. Takecarebnb provides you with these guests and host families via a database system. As a Matchmaker, you follow the guest and the host family remotely during the match period (three months). As a volunteer, we will support you with advice and assistance from our office in Amsterdam and you will be assigned a personal coordinator as a buddy. As a volunteer, you are a highly valued colleague within Takecarebnb! Do you recognize yourself in these skills? • Intercultural and customer-oriented thinking; • Conducting structured conversations • Being able to ask questions to clarify expectations; • Being able to critically assess situations and act accordingly; • Flexible attitude, careful • Honest and non-judgmental; • Being able to speak and write Dutch well, knowledge of the English language; • Wanting to operate independently and in a team; • Create conversation reports in our database What we offer you • The opportunity to use your talent and/or experience in a meaningful volunteer role; • An inspiring network in your region; • Practical start with a fellow matchmaker who takes you along on conversations; • A permanent coordinator as a point of contact • Several relevant training courses and masterclasses annually by specialists in the field; • Periodic intervision meetings with fellow Matchmakers; • Volunteer compensation; • A place within a close-knit team in an enthusiastic and inspiring organization; • You work from home, visit the host families and are always welcome in our office in Amsterdam; • The opportunity to really make a difference in the lives of both the guests and the host families! Location and hours You live in Overijssel and you can make about 5-8 hours per week to be busy as a Matchmaker. The hours can be divided yourself and depend on the workload and the period. Are you interested or would you like more information first? Would you like to discuss this great role without obligation or speak to a fellow Matchmaker? Send an email.

Buurtbemiddeling Almelo
“For years, the atmosphere between neighbors was spoiled by a crooked fence. Until they started talking to each other and heard the story behind it. The fence has been repaired and so has the contact!” A neighborly dispute is not pleasant for anyone. That is why we are looking for mediators who will talk to the residents to find a solution. What do you do as a neighborhood mediator: - After reading the report, you and a fellow mediator visit the home of the neighbor who reported the incident. - Together you listen to the story and the experience of this neighbor. - Subsequently, you unexpectedly visit the other neighbor, the possible perpetrator and through the eyes of the first neighbor, with your fellow mediator. - Together you listen to the story and the experience of this neighbor. Often the same story… but the other way around. - You remain neutral and impartial and look for the common interest of the neighbors. - You and your fellow neighbourhood mediator try to get the neighbours to sit down, under your guidance and with your support. - Conduct a mediation conversation together and help ensure that they leave in harmony. It is good to know that you will always go out with an experienced neighbourhood mediator. In addition, we are happy to help you further develop your skills. You can follow various training courses with us, such as intuitive mediation, mediation with vulnerable people, deepening coaching skills, making feelings discussable, stimulating your own strength, etc. And... know that there is already a fight between the neighbours, so you cannot make it worse. The neighborhood mediator we are looking for: - has good ears - is patient and wants to help people so that they can live together again - can give people the feeling that they are being heard - is open to many different opinions - wants to get to know new worlds And do you speak one or more other languages besides Dutch, such as Arabic, Berber, Bulgarian, German, English, Finnish, French, Gujarati, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Tigrinya, Turkish, Urdu and/or Swedish, then you are an indispensable link for good communication and more than welcome! This makes it extra fun for you: • This work is very educational, you develop skills • In-depth training tailored to your needs • Lots of personal attention • Team building activities • “Neighborhood mediators” are very nice people to get to know • You participate in discussions about the further development of neighborhood mediation • You indicate in consultation how much and when you are available, a mediation takes an average of 1 to 2 half days. So are you the peacemaker who can make Almelo more liveable? Do you feel addressed by the above function? Then contact us via a message on Almelo voor elkaar.

By helping them with this you increase their independence and happiness in life. After a period of training and coaching, you will have your own group of participants who you support regularly. You decide how large the group of participants will be. Of course you can fall back on the team for questions and/or coaching. It is important that you have an affinity with administration or experience in preparing tax returns for others.

It is nice if you have an administrative background and especially if you have experience with filing tax returns for others. If you have any questions, let me know, I'll be happy to answer them.
