About the volunteering opportunity

We are looking for dedicated volunteer supporterswhowould like to accompanyour residentson longer walksonce a week- together with our day-to-day care staff.

Getting out into the fresh air together, chatting, laughing and enjoying little highlights in between - such as a visit to McDonald's or the bakery - makes a big difference to our residents' everyday lives.

Deine Zeit not only provides exercise, but also joie de vivre and social participation.

Your Tasks

  • Accompanying residents on walks
  • Support in cooperation with our everyday companions
  • Time for conversations and shared experiences
  • Short excursions with stops in between

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.
Enjoying interacting with people and being open to the needs of our residentsare paramount. As the inclusion of all residentsis importantto us, volunteers should ideally also be able to push a wheelchair.

If this is not possible, we will of course find suitable opportunities - for example, one-to-one accompaniment of residents, for example with dementia, on walks.
