About the job
Are you a passionate HBO Social Work student eager to gain meaningful experience through an internship? Join our vibrant team in Zoeterwoude, where you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of our community members.
Your Daily Contributions
As you arrive at the Huiskamer in Ons Huis van het Dorp or at De Eendenkooi in Zoeterwoude-Rijndijk, you will be part of a community initiative aimed at providing a welcoming environment for individuals who are not yet eligible for daytime activities. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 3 PM, we host an engaging and diverse program designed for those seeking a cheerful day out or respite for their caregivers.
Each day begins with a warm coffee welcome at 10 AM, followed by a fresh lunch at noon. Weekly activities vary and may include chair exercises or memory games in the morning, and engaging workshops or music sessions in the afternoon.
We typically welcome around 20 visitors each week, creating a diverse gathering of individuals who appreciate a 'joyful day.' Whether it's the occasional memory lapse or feelings of loneliness, the Huiskamer provides a space for everyone to feel valued and recognized. At the end of the day, our guests leave with bright smiles.
Your role involves helping to ensure our visitors have a pleasant experience. You will get to know them, engage in conversations, and establish connections, making sure everyone feels at ease. You will also assist in coordinating activities and are encouraged to propose new ideas for enjoyable events.
In collaboration with the welfare coach and volunteers, you will contribute to establishing a quality daytime care program as part of Zoeterwoude's initiative for a dementia-friendly community.
