At the Weerdsingel shelter, we provide accommodation for up to 20 people who do not have legal residency in the Netherlands. As a volunteer, you play a crucial role in offering a safe space for this vulnerable group who have nowhere else to turn.
What will you do?
You will work night shifts from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. You sleep in a work/sleep room and have access to a shower. During your shift, you work independently, but you can always reach someone by phone in case of emergency. Although it doesn’t happen often, a resident may need you during the night. You will be the point of contact and ensure that the situation is handled calmly.
