Summary
There are! for someone in the final phase of life and their loved ones. You pay attention to the guests and you support the nurse with physical care.Detailed description
The hospice is a home where volunteers provide care to seriously ill people in the final phase of life, when recovery is no longer possible. Because it is not always possible to provide sufficient care at home in the final phase of life, it is possible to continue the care with the help of volunteers, family and professional care providers in the hospice home, where one's own home living situation is emulated as best as possible. .
What are you going to do?
There are! for someone in the final phase of life and their loved ones. You pay attention to the guests and you support the nurse with physical care. You work together with another volunteer. Sometimes you provide breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Who are we looking for?
Listening, being empathetic, wanting to learn, wanting to be there for fellow human beings in the final phase of life and their loved ones. We have a preference for people with a healthcare background, but it is not necessary. View the volunteer profile on the hospice website for more details. Good command of the Dutch language.
What do we have to offer you?
We offer education in the form of basic training, intervision and regular theme meetings and courses to all our volunteers.
What makes the work worth it?

What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout Hospice Wageningen Renkum
In the communal living room with open kitchen there is enough space for everyone who wants to join us.
Those who need some privacy can retreat to the quiet room. There is also an extensive library here and it is possible to listen to music.
Family and friends are very welcome. If desired, we involve them in the care, of course in careful consultation with our guest and the nursing staff. There is also a listening ear for family and friends if they need it.
For a small fee, it is always possible for family or friends to eat with them or stay the night with their loved one.
Room with garden
Each guest has their own room, with wide French doors to the garden. The rooms are comfortably furnished and of course guests can bring precious belongings from home to create their own personal atmosphere.
