Would you like to make a difference for people with a language delay with a few hours of your time? Do you want to help people to be self-reliant and to participate in society?
Then read on, because at Humanitas West-Brabant West we are looking for a new (co-) Language Buddy coordinator!
Language buddies
The Humanitas Language Buddy Project is for people who cannot participate freely in society due to a language deficiency. Our motivated language buddies help participants get to know the Dutch language and culture in a calm way. This is important because a language deficiency can cause social isolation with negative social, social and administrative consequences. The language assistance takes place at the participant's home, online or during the weekly Language Café. During a conversation, a walk, watching TV or a game, participants learn more about the Dutch language. The participants, like the volunteers, are people of all ages from different countries.
As a Language Buddy Project coordinator, you ensure that our enthusiastic volunteers are linked to the right participants, so that they can then progress in learning to speak the Dutch language.
What are you going to do?
Together with your fellow coordinators from Taalmaatjes in Bergen op Zoom:
- Process the incoming registrations,
- Do you have contact with potentially interested parties by email or telephone?
- Have an intake interview with volunteers and participants,
- Organize the Language Café,
- Ensure correct processing and registration,
- Ensure a good match between volunteers and participants, and
- During the connection, you are the point of contact and you support the volunteer and participant where necessary.
Do you recognize yourself in this?
As a coordinator of the Taalmaatjes project, you are a versatile person who likes to connect people. You get excited about contact with different people, you have a dose of empathy and you can put people at ease.
You can switch well: one moment you are a listener to someone's story, the next moment you are a researcher to check whether the registration is suitable for Humanitas, or you are the coach for the volunteer who has difficulty helping people properly. a participant.
You enjoy working together, but you also have no problem carrying out activities independently. You can handle computers.
What do we offer you?
Humanitas offers you versatile, inspiring and valuable volunteer work, where you actively contribute to the participants' better understanding and speaking of the Dutch language. Humanitas offers support (where necessary and desired), appropriate training and meetings to help you develop further. Humanitas also offers accident insurance and travel and expense reimbursement.
