Seeking medically trained volunteers for the night clinic at the outpatient center

During the winter months, from November through April, the Berlin City Mission operates a total of four emergency shelters.
Many people who would otherwise have to spend the night outside in the cold receive shelter, food, clothing, medical care, counseling, and emotional support here. 

The outpatient clinic for homeless people is located directly above the Lehrter Straße emergency shelter and offers nighttime consultations during the cold-weather assistance season. 

Duties: Respons ibilities include examining homeless individuals and those who are ill. If necessary, immediate treatment is provided to patients, such as delousing and wound care. In an emergency, admission to a hospital is arranged. 

Licensed physicians are responsible for deciding on the appropriate treatment and prescribing medications.

Requirements: You must belong to one of the following professional groups: licensed physician, medical professional, nurse, medical assistant, or medical student. You can communicate well in German and English. Knowledge of Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, or Russian is a plus but not a requirement. The minimum age for this volunteer position is 18. 

Here’s why you’ll enjoy this volunteer role: You are intrinsically motivated to use your professional expertise to help homeless people on a volunteer basis. You are open to understanding the complex life situations faced by homeless people. You are reliable and enjoy taking on responsibility. You are a good listener for all patients and treat them with kindness.

Time Commitment: We’d like you to volunteer on a regular basis—at least once a month, depending on what we agree upon and your availability. We’d especially appreciate your help during the winter assistance period from November 1, 2026, to April 29, 2027, and beyond if possible.

When: Daily from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Expected attitude: You are convinced that every person has an inalienable dignity and are prepared to act in accordance with the Code of Conduct of the Berlin City Mission. You respect the Christian faith as well as other religions and world views.
