Psychologists wanted: benefits for Lyme
Do you want to help patients in a vulnerable position with their jobs and income and contribute directly to a better quality of life? Then we are looking for you! 💪 WHAT DOES THE LYME ASSOCIATION BENEFITS WORKING GROUP DO? ADVISING THE BOARD: This working group advises the board of the Lyme Association on options to support people with Lyme in receiving income replacement benefits (sickness benefit, WIA, IVA, Wajong, social assistance, etc.); questions are also raised about occupational health and safety rules, the company doctor and the WMO. PROVIDING TRAININGS: The working group also organizes the 'UWV training': a training that prepares people with Lyme for their disability trajectory. GUIDANCE CLIENTS: Finally, the working group has volunteers with a great deal of experience who guide individual people with Lyme through their application process, via email and telephone; We are now looking for an additional volunteer for this work. This guidance is not easy, because the matter is complicated and people experience a lot of resistance when obtaining benefits. But the work is also extremely satisfying, because we regularly manage to help someone effectively. If you succeed, such a person will be free of worries for years, and that is partly thanks to you. Depending on the time you are available, you will be assigned more or fewer applicants. 🔍 WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? The benefits working group would like to add more people with a social legal background to the team, so that our expertise becomes even broader. This includes occupational health and safety experts, (labor) lawyers, medical examiners, judges, psychologists and lawyers. Is your expertise not listed here, but do you think you can add something to our team? Be sure to register! ⏱️ LOCATION AND COMMITMENT Volunteer work with the benefits working group can be done entirely from home. It is possible to join UWV training courses (which sometimes take place on location), but this is not mandatory. Travel reimbursement is available for this. A commitment of at least 2 hours per week would be desirable. 💚 WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU? 1️⃣ Interesting volunteer work with which you make a direct positive impact on the lives of people in a vulnerable position. 2️⃣ Guidance by experienced volunteers so you can always turn to someone for help and advice. 3️⃣ This function can be done entirely from home and bed. 4️⃣ Volunteer allowance for commitments of more than ten hours per month. 5️⃣ The option to regularly co-work with other volunteers. That is cozy and practical. It is not mandatory to participate. 6️⃣ Expense reimbursement. 7️⃣ Possibility of training. ❗️ INTEREST Would you like to join us in the benefits working group?
