💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers are there to help and support the staff. They will never substitute them. The volunteers will have a mentor who will guide them specifically in the tasks they carry out.
Volunteers may participate in all activities in the professional departments previously mentioned (psychological, therapeutic etc), always taking into account factors such as the characteristics of the volunteer, their previous professional training and their personal preferences; considering these aspects is fundamental in allowing the volunteer to integrate and adapt to the dynamics of the hosting home and at the same time empathise with those being treated.
Volunteers will collaborate a maximun of 35 hours per week from Monday to Friday. The schedule time will be principally during the morning although it will depend on the current necessities.
Some of the most frequent activities to be carried out by the volunteers are:
Attendance to sick people and to those who are in bed.
Personal attention: support for meals, cleaning the residents, etc..
Support in the activities of physical rehabilitation and of occupational therapy for their cognitive rehabilitation.
Participation in workshops (carpentry, gardening, painting, etc.).
Participation in the educative department: workshop of adult literacy, out-of-school support to children who live in the hosting home.
Collaboration with the organization of workshops and occupational activities: magazine, theatre, computer science, yoga and relaxation, sport activities, workshop, etc.
Collaboration with the organization of workshops and leisure activities (excursions, cultural activities, etc.).
The volunteers will participate with the rest of the volunteers in the daily home activities. The volunteers will be supported by a mentor who will have a meeting with them once a week to talk with them and see if they need support with other matters. Sample time-tables. These are flexible and should be taken only as a sample. In this project initiatives from the volunteers are welcome and very positively valued.
