Description of the vacancy
VPTZ Noordelijk Noord-Limburg is active in the municipalities of Gennep, Bergen, Venray and Horst a.d. Maas. A group of more than 30 volunteers led by two coordinators offers help for the dying person and his family, simply by "being there".

Saying goodbye to loved ones is an emotional and heavy process, which we prefer to do ourselves. If this can be done at home in your own familiar environment with the whole family, it can be a great support. In the longer term, it is often an enrichment of the memories of the deceased for the entire family.
However, this intention can, if it lasts longer, become a heavy burden for those close to you.

In this final phase, VPTZ can offer help with attention, proximity and support to both the person who is going to die at home and their loved ones. A volunteer can be used when needed. This gives the loved one the opportunity to rest, do an errand, visit family and the like. This can be in the morning, afternoon, evening or night.

As a volunteer you must be able to adapt to the situation. You must be able to adopt the "color" of the house. Integrity, being able to listen and feeling what the situation requires of you are qualities that are necessary to be able to do this work. VPTZ offers all new volunteers a basic course, in which various facets of the work in the terminal phase are discussed. In addition, theme meetings are regularly organized for volunteers.

A volunteer is scheduled for deployment in consultation with the coordinator. The frequency of this depends on the possibilities of the volunteer and on the number of requests for help. The volunteer can decide for himself in which part of the working area of VPTZ -NNL he/she wants to be deployed.

Please contact one of the coordinators by sending a message or calling.
