About the job
Do you have a warm heart for the elderly and seek meaningful volunteer work in the Elst region? We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers for various roles within our organization. Your efforts can truly make a difference in the lives of our elderly residents! Curious about the opportunities? Read on!
Driver for Day Care
As a driver for our day care program, you will provide transportation for our visitors from their homes to the day care center and back again in the afternoon. You will use the Attent bus, which is equipped with a wheelchair lift. Your role will involve assisting visitors from their front door to the bus and ensuring they are securely fastened in. This requires attention to the individual and their specific needs, as you will be working with people who have dementia or physical disabilities and live at home but attend a program at De Elster Toren during the day.
Working days/times: Monday and/or Wednesday mornings and afternoons. Total time commitment is 1 to 2 hours per week. Rides are shared among multiple drivers.

Your tasks will include pruning shrubs and plants, weeding, sweeping, and maintaining the terrace and wooden decking using a pressure washer or vinegar. Will you help us bring the garden to life?
