Summary
Are you socially involved and do you enjoy guiding other volunteers? We are looking for a coordinator for Friendly Home Visits.Detailed description
Do you want to mean something to people who feel alone? Then we are looking for you!
Humanitas is the volunteer organization in Utrecht for people who can temporarily use a helping hand. We make the difference by connecting people with people, without making a distinction in origin, religion or culture. Volunteers give someone temporary support (about a year) and provide tools with which the participant can tackle his own problems. Each project has a team of coordinators who are passionate about making good connections and guiding participants and volunteers.
We are looking for a coordinator for our Friendly Home Visit project.
Friendly Home Visit
Friendly Home Visit is for Utrecht residents who feel lonely. We establish contact between two people. Someone who feels lonely and a volunteer who wants to support the other. They are each other's buddy. The volunteer comes by for a chat, a cup of coffee or to go out together, but also to take small steps together that ensure that the loneliness is broken and the participant gets more pleasure in life.
Activities of the coordinator:
● Conduct introductory conversations with participants and volunteers
● Linking volunteers to participants and guiding these links
● Organizing intervision meetings for volunteers
● Work consultation with the co-coordinators
Due to corona, meeting, calling and computer work is currently taking place digitally. Conversations with volunteers or participants can take place live if necessary.
Do you recognize yourself in this?
● Socially involved
● Good communication and organizational skills
● Able to work independently and in a team
● Available for 6 to 8 hours a week for at least one year
What do we offer?
● A volunteer place in a nice department where we pay a lot of attention to each other
● A good feeling: you contribute to the self-reliance of many people
● Possibilities to follow internal and external training courses
● A lot of responsibility, but also a lot of freedom to give your own twist to your work

About Humanitas Utrecht
We have one important goal in mind: we bring an Utrecht person who cannot manage alone for a while with a fellow townsman. We assume that if we bring together the knowledge, strength and expertise, Utrecht can then continue himself.
Sometimes someone does not have the capacity to organize their own life. Sometimes the opportunity to do so is lacking. Humanitas Utrecht is there to give these people temporary support and to provide them with the tools with which they can tackle their problems themselves. We are convinced that this gives people so much self-confidence that they will be able to take better care of themselves in the future.
The tools that our volunteers bring are diverse; overview in the administration, processing the loss of a loved one, or learning the Dutch language better. In all our support we focus on ensuring that the other person can pick up the thread again.
Activities Humanitas Utrecht:
- Friendly Home Visit
- Language buddies
- Home administration
- Get a Grip
- Study buddies
- Make a Difference Today (social service)
- Buddies Victims of Human Trafficking
- Support in Grief and Loss
