Summary
As a coordinator of the AHD, you make a match between someone who needs help and one of your volunteers. So that both enjoy their contact.Detailed description
The Algemene Hulpdienst (AHD) of WIL | Buren voor Buren has about twenty volunteers who visit residents of the Vleuten-De Meern district. They are visits to alleviate the loneliness of the fellow residents. The customer hardly has a social network and is happy that someone comes to visit for a cup of coffee, a walk or just a chat.
It is very important that there is a click (or 'match') between the volunteer and the customer. You, as coordinator of the AHD, ensure this. In this role you visit the customer. You also know every volunteer. And because you are able to quickly assess whether one will get along with the other, you are at the basis of success.
You don't do this alone. You can spar with a fellow coordinator (who will also replace you if you are unable to attend). That also immediately creates a friendship.
Of course, providing feedback to your volunteers and monitoring progress is also your responsibility.
The result of your volunteer work is that thanks to your work you have helped a lonely neighbor, and thus made a difference.
Proficiency in the Dutch language is necessary for this position.

What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout WIL | Buren voor Buren
The objective of WIL is to promote neighborly help in the neighborhood and to provide the neighborhood with information in the field of informal care and welfare in the immediate living environment. We therefore offer neighborly assistance and we make all information about care and welfare accessible (findable) to everyone.
The neighbors help teams are divided between the groceries help, the handyman help, the transport help and a general emergency service. Via these four emergency services, more than 100 enthusiastic volunteers offer concrete neighborly help to residents of the neighborhood who cannot rely on informal care themselves and for whom professional help is too expensive.
But WIL does more: the telephone team, the location team and the communication team are constantly working to map out all help, all hobby clubs, all activities, from private individuals to organizations and to make them accessible to the residents of our neighborhood. So that anyone who needs help can find what they are looking for.
