Administrative assistantMensen in de MinimaIn the meantime, our foundation - albeit under different names - has been around for over forty years!We hold consultation hours in two branches, Meerzicht and Oosterheem, where we help people with the everyday administrative matters they encounter.In the Meerzicht district we are open in three consultation rooms on Mondays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with regular extensions when we are busy. We hope to be able to open on Fridays again, but then we really need more volunteers.There are many people who use our help, which consists of reading/writing/completing all kinds of letters and forms, which they cannot resolve themselves (properly). We also help to find solutions if there is a problem. We could use some extra volunteers for this.The diversity of questions that people come up with is great. And we also sometimes still learn new things... Fortunately, we work in - constantly changing - pairs of two to provide our clients with advice and assistance, except when we work with an odd number of volunteers per half day. Sometimes it requires a little more questioning to clarify the issues one is struggling with. We also have a registration system in which we store what we do for our visitors.Challenging volunteer work! There is even a small expense allowance of €5.00 per half day. Do you feel attracted to help out - preferably for a longer period of time? Please contact us!We request a clearly motivated and substantiated response. Vague comments will not be responded to.Regularly
