Are you really looking for a listening ear? Of course! Because you can never have enough listening ears! And in addition to a listening ear, it would also be nice if you live in the Geleen area and have quite a bit of patience.
We are Lianne, Renate, Ilona and Stein and we are looking for someone who can go with us to our appointments at the hospital, the doctor or the dentist. Now you may be thinking, this is quite a strange question. But if you know us, you understand that we really need your help. And patience? Yes... as you may know, consultation hours can sometimes run late and we may end up in the waiting room a little longer than planned...
But why do we need help? Because we can no longer go to a doctor, hospital or dentist alone. We all have some form of acquired brain injury. We no longer live at home but in a residential care center in Geleen. Unfortunately, our supervisors cannot always accompany us. That is why we are looking for someone who is flexible, has a driver's license and wants to assist us with the visits. It is quite important, because we also ask you to feed back the information from the doctor or GP to our supervisors. So that they are also informed.
So do you live in Geleen and do you have a few hours a week to help us? We promise to let you know in time if we have to go somewhere. So you don't have to be next to the phone 24 hours a day and always be available. Would you like to know more about what exactly we expect from you? Please feel free to contact us without obligation.
This concerns volunteer work. For some it can be a step towards working with people who sometimes need help. At SGL we stand for equality. Everyone is equal in value. They may then call you a volunteer*. But to us you are just Eva, Fatima, Iwona or Bram and we are just Maricelle, Isabelle and Ivo 😉.
*As a volunteer at SGL you are entitled to various schemes. You can use our reimbursement scheme. You will find yourself in a nice working environment and we have an attention scheme.
People with brain damage
You may not immediately be able to imagine people with brain injuries. We understand that. They are people like you and me. It can happen to anyone. An accident or illness, such as a stroke, can cause damage to your brain. We call this acquired brain injury (NAH). The consequences of acquired brain damage are often serious, such as (partial) paralysis, a change in character, quickly becoming overstimulated, poor memory, no longer being able to speak (properly) and much more. This has a major impact, not only on the people it happens to, but also on their loved ones. Some people can no longer work or even live at home. SGL offers specialist care and support at home, in activity centers and residential care centers and various services to further help clients with NAH and their loved ones. As a volunteer you are part of the team and therefore indispensable within SGL.
Do you want to mean something to others?
Do you see opportunities somewhere where we can use your qualities? Then be sure to start a conversation with us. We give you the right background to support our clients as independently as possible. And of course, at SGL you can decide whether you want to volunteer occasionally or weekly. You will receive a volunteer agreement and may receive compensation. SGL thinks along with you about options and makes agreements in good consultation, so that our clients and employees know when they can count on you.
