Summary
Do you find sleeping services no problem? Healthcare experience is not necessary. You can just sleep and be woken up when needed.Detailed description
Are you caring but also practical? Do you mind doing sleep shifts? Come and help our nurses care for the guests in the hospice! Healthcare experience is not necessary. We provide loving and hospitable care for seriously ill people during the last phase of their lives. You work in varying shifts. The care volunteers for sleeping services do about four sleeping shifts per month. The sleep shift is from 11 PM to 8 AM. You have your own bedroom with sanitary facilities at your disposal. You can sleep normally and will only be woken up by the nurse on duty if she needs extra hands at the bedside. A combination with day shifts is also possible, eg 2 sleeping shifts and 2 day shifts per month. You will be well trained and supervised. You are prepared to follow relevant courses and training and you participate in team meetings twice a year. In principle, we ask new volunteers to be available for a longer period of time. Working in our hospice is meaningful work in a warm, open and cozy atmosphere. The processing takes place during the day.

“Just being very close to the other
The Johannes Hospitium is located in a quiet spot in the middle of Vleuten. The hospice offers people in their final phase of life a hospitable and comfortable stay with expert care and guidance. In a safe, familiar environment, it gives the guest and his loved ones the opportunity to say goodbye in peace and in a personal way. The Johannes Hospitium has room for eight guests. Each guest has a spacious private room with a terrace and a view of the garden. The Hospitium could not exist without the efforts of volunteers!
“Our volunteers do everything they can to give people what they need in a loving way in the last phase of their lives,” says volunteer coordinator Hetty Boven, “There are several ways to do this. There are volunteers who assist the nurses with the care, they help the guests with showering, dressing and eating, etc. Experience in care is not necessary for this. In addition, there are volunteers who receive visitors as hosts, answer the phone and provide coffee. Our beautiful garden is also maintained by volunteers. Cooking volunteers provide meals for our guests. Our volunteers are very involved, there is consultation and guidance. Courses are offered and a private choir sings, among other things, at memorial meetings. People often ask if the work is not hard. Of course it is intense, but dying is part of life and people mainly live in the Hospitium. Especially in a phase in which people let go of life. In addition to sadness, there is also room for happy memories and fun. That makes voluntary work so great to do, you can be very close to the other for a while ”.
