About the project

ESC: Health and Social Services, Emergency Medical Services

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Mission, Werte und Ziele des Landesverbandes Oberösterreich entsprechen dem unter „applicant organisation“ Angeführten. Auch wenn sich die Leistungen je Landesverband in Details unterscheiden, entsprechen diese ebenso wie die Zielgruppen grundsätzlich jenen der unter "applicant organisation" beschriebenen.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteer will be part of our team in Korneuburg and can choose between two main areas, depending on their interests. 1) Emergency Medical Services (German language skills are required: B1/B2): The volunteer may complete paramedic training (“Rettungssanitäter:in”), including 100 hours of theory and 160 hours of practice. Afterward, they can support the ambulance team in emergency and patient transport services, assist staff and volunteers, and gain insight into emergency response operations. 2) Health and Social Services: The volunteer will support social welfare activities such as the second-hand boutique, thrift store, and social initiatives. Tasks include sales, shop decoration, warehouse management, marketing, helping at a monthly social café for elderly people, and supporting the distribution of nursing care products and food. In both areas, the volunteer will work with experienced staff and volunteers and get to know the activities of the Austrian Red Cross.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will be accommodated directly at the district branch in Korneuburg with a furnished room, access to kitchen facilities and washing opportunities. Korneuburg has good public transport connections to Vienna and surrounding areas.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
