Description
Volunteer Respite Home
Het Respithuis is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer who offers support to our guests and carers. The emphasis here is on person-centred care. The care is tailored to the personal wishes of the guest, but also to strengthen the own strength of the guest and the carer and to make them feel better.

Organization
People with a chronic illness and/or condition can stay in the Respite House to prevent informal carers from becoming overloaded.
As a carer, it is important to relax regularly. This gives you new energy. That is good for yourself and also for those you care for. This is of course only possible if you are sure that the care recipient is staying in a pleasant and safe environment. Our Respite House is such an address! We want to create a warm and safe atmosphere for our guests.

The Respite House Alkmaar initially appears to be an ordinary house in an average street. However, there is a big difference. Care recipients come to stay with us. They are welcome every day of the year. This gives the carer more space and time for themselves.

We work together with the Care Circle. She is the organization that provides care in the Respite Home.
Other tasks are performed by volunteers. They are supervised daily by two professional coordinators.

Job description:
Creating a safe and warm environment where the wishes of the guests are central.
Job requirements:
• Being able to perform the host/hostess role
• A committed institution

• Room for own development
• A training aimed at working in the Respite Home
• Guidance and support by the coordinator
• Social contacts
• A small-scale and homely work environment
• Volunteer insurance
• An internal attention policy

What makes the work worthwhile:
It is a job that gives a lot of satisfaction, not only for the guests and the carer but also for yourself

Working hours:
In order to build a bond with the guests and volunteers, we ask for a commitment of at least one half day per week.
