About the volunteering opportunity

For our nursing home in Pankow, we are now looking for volunteers to support the nursing home team with group activities for residents. The "Dr. Günter Hesse" residential care home offers 80 residents with care grades I to V a home in Pankow. You can get involved on a one-off or regular basis, whichever suits you best.

Your Tasks

You support the work of the Pankow nursing home team.

There are various group activities for the residents in the care home, for example

  • Exercise (every Monday)
  • Finger gymnastics (every Tuesday)
  • Handicrafts & creativity
  • Garden group
  • Reading aloud
  • Games (bingo, Mensch ärgere Dich nicht, skittles...)
Your task is to motivate and support the residents in these group activities. A member of staff from the care home is always present at the group activities, so you are not alone.

What your commitment looks like:

8:30 am: Arrive and get to know the team on site

8:45 am: Transfer for people in wheelchairs

9:00 - 10:00 a.m.: Group activity for people with dementia

10:00 am: Return transfer for people in wheelchairs

10:00 - 11:00 am: Group activity for seniors without dementia

  • Reliability
  • Ability to work in a team
  • Interest and pleasure in being together with older people
