ESC: Volunteer in care and working center

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Varstveno delovni center Tončke Hočevar je socialno varstveni zavod za odrasle osebe z motnjo v telesnem in duševnem razvoju. Odraslim osebam z motnjo v duševnem in telesnem razvoju omogočamo kvalitetno življenje, s tem da izvajamo v storitev vodenje, varstvo ter zaposlitev pod posebnimi pogoji in institucionalno varstvo. Storitev vodenje, varstvo ter zaposlitev pod posebnimi pogoji jim omogoča, da so delovno aktivni in na ta način vzdržujejo in razvijajo svoje sposobnosti. Vsakemu posamezniku želimo omogočiti, da se lahko vključi v zaposlitev, ki je v skladu z njegovimi željami in sposobnostmi. Zraven zaposlitve pa storitev posamezniku omogoča tudi socialno vključenost in podporo strokovnih delavcev pri načrtovanju ciljev in reševanju težav. Institucionalno varstvo je namenjeno posameznikom, ki si želijo bolj samostojnega življenja izven njihovega doma ter tistim, ki so ostali brez družine, ne zmorejo pa živet sami. Uporabnike spodbujamo in učimo, da so v okviru svojih sposobnosti čimbolj samostojni (skrb zase, vključevanje v lokalno skupnost, skrb za dom in prehrano...).

💼 What the programme involves

Care and working centre Toncka Hocevar is a social welfare institution. We offer different programs and services for adults with intellectual and co-occurring disabilities. First program is oriented to ensure suitable work occupation for adults with special needs. We organize different forms of occupations in 6 different units in Ljubljana. Each unit has a team of mentors (professional worker or occupational therapist), a guardian and a work mentor. In second program we offer institucional care inside residential homes. Beside the occupation and living, we organize numerous other activities that are offered to our users: we take trips, attend events and various institutions. We are also active in the field of sports, attending competitions under the organisation of the Special Olympics. We are looking for two volunteers who will be involved in all activities. The main task of the volunteers will be the organization of leisure activities and health maintenance activities.

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).

  • Health insurance during your project
