About the volunteering opportunity

Become part of our home emergency call team! The home emergency call enables people who live in Mannheim, Weinheim, Schwetzingen, Hockenheim and the surrounding area to live safely in old age, in the event of illness, disability or if they are alone! At the touch of a button, you receive professional help from our emergency service - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
24 hours a day, 365 days a year!

Your Tasks

Our home emergency call customers press their home emergency call because they need help - we are often the first to be there for them. You drive to them, provide security, provide first aid if necessary and initiate further measures if necessary.
With your commitment, you not only provide help, but also hope, peace of mind and the good feeling of not being alone in an emergency situation.

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity, intermediate German skills are required.
  • a qualification as a paramedic
  • a driver's license, new drivers should have completed the probationary period (2 years)
  • good knowledge of German

Time required

Regularly
Approx. 12 hours per day.
The service takes place in 12-hour shifts, which you can choose flexibly. One shift runs from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.

Important notice

  • Your area of operation is our district association area, i.e. from Laudenbach, via Mannheim to Lußheim in the south. Preferably, you will be deployed in the southern area of our KV. 
  • The home emergency call is not a free ticket for blue light enthusiasts ;). We do not have special rights of way, i.e. no blue lights and sirens, which means you must comply with the road traffic regulations :)
