Volunteers

Your greatest motivation should be a compassionate heart for our patients.

Additionally, you need to fulfil the following criteria:

• you are older than 18
• you speak Dutch
• you commit on a regular basis
• you respect the professional confidentiality inherent to the job

Volunteers are used for the benefit of the experience of the patients, relatives and visitors. They are a great asset to any department. Our volunteers are at every location for a wide range of departments. An introductory meeting is held to explore the mutual expectations, opportunities and interests. Would you like to have intensive contact with patients or would you prefer not to? You decide the kind of tasks you want to perform.

We expect you to volunteer at least twice a month, preferably in blocks of four hours.

And so much more!

We also offer:

• A free meal and coffee in the restaurant on the days you volunteer.
• Free parking on the days you work as a volunteer. You can also use the bicycle parking area for employees.
• A free flu vaccination
• Reimbursement of your transport costs on the days you volunteer or when you attend mandatory training.
• Insurance for personal injury in the event of accidents and civil liability.
• An annual party for volunteers and an invitation to all other employee events.
• You can take advantage of some interesting discounts through Benefits at Work.

Unfortunately, we cannot respond to enquiries about temporary volunteering. We want to properly guide and train new volunteers, which requires a lot of commitment. Therefore, we are looking for people who can make a long-term commitment.

Yes, provided you also volunteer during the week.

On the intermediate and long-term care wards, duties continue as normal on the weekends. Some other departments do not work on weekends.

You will need to submit an application in advance to be allowed to do volunteer work. This requires specific documents to be signed by you and by our organisation. We are happy to help you with this.
