Volunteer at our hospice

VOLUNTEER AT OUR HOSPICE I For our newly opened hospice at our residential care location Meckama State in Kollum, we are looking for volunteers.

As a volunteer in a hospice, you have an important role in the last phase of the life of guests and their loved ones. You provide a homely atmosphere, a flower on the table, fresh coffee and tea in the living room, preparing the meal, reading a book and 'just being there' at times when nothing needs to be said. Depending on a guest's wishes, you will support the care assistant and/or the guest with care tasks. You offer attention and a listening ear, both to the guest and to next of kin or visitors.

Do you recognise yourself in this?

Then contact welfare coordinator Cindy van der Molen directly on 06-36 317 020 / 0511 - 457 800 or cindy.van.der.molen@nb.nl. Or read the full vacancy text at Vacancy: Volunteer hospice in Kollum | Noorderbreedte

After an ample familiarisation period by experienced care volunteers and nurses, we offer you meaningful and valuable volunteer work in a pleasant environment, where it is possible to be meaningful to guests, their loved ones and your fellow volunteers and care staff. And where, above all, there is interest and attention for each other.

Furthermore, you can expect from us:

• Travel allowance based on public transport;
• collective liability insurance and accident insurance;
• A quarterly newsletter for volunteers;
• Annual outing with fellow volunteers;
• Christmas celebration with staff, volunteers with snacks and drinks and Christmas treats.

The role as a hospice volunteer is wide-ranging, but therefore very valuable. It means that you:

• are available for at least 1 half-day session of 4 hours per week. This could be in the morning, afternoon or evening, weekdays and/or weekends.
• Be part of the multidisciplinary hospice team.
• participates in thematic meetings and regular consultation.
• are willing to increase your own expertise through training on palliative care and the role of volunteers in it. Of course, the cost of those trainings is for us.
