💼 What the programme involves
We are a family looking for a volunteer who helps our father (Salvador). He is on a wheelchair. The attention is based on the relationship established with the person, who has a physical disability but all mental capacities.
This is a private home where the volunteer will be involved in a Spanish family, giving importance to daily life issues and sharing house duties. The house has a big garden and the volunteer will have his/her own bedroom, with a bathroom shared with another person.
Volunteer tasks :
Care of one person with physical disability: assisting him with daily duties and on the development of his abilities through different activities.
Assistance during the meals and dressing.
Companion for the person.
Participate in the home routine. There is a domestic worker, but we expect from the volunteer help with cleaning, shopping and gardening.
The volunteer won't give any medical assistance.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will lodge in the same house with the family. This means that he/she will get a single bedroom, shared bathroom and a key of the house so he/she can enter or leave the house at every moment. There is a community swimming pool in summer.
There is a bike for the volunteer. A car will be also available when needed.
