Guide for walk-in hours on finance & administration

Moviera stands for tackling domestic violence. We have various shelters where we offer shelter and support to people who have experienced domestic violence. The goal is for them to live independently and become self-reliant. Keeping their own paperwork in order is part of that self-reliance.

Keeping records seems obvious, but it certainly isn't. During a weekly drop-in session, you'll work with clients to find the best way to do this. You'll teach them practical skills, such as organizing papers in a folder, sorted by type and by date. They'll learn to distinguish between important mail and advertising. They'll develop the habit of opening mail and filing it away after handling it. By working together and practicing together, clients learn to do this independently. A huge improvement in their independence.

You'll initially work independently, but we aim to have two volunteers lead this open hour. It's important that you're able to work in an accessible way, paying attention to the details that most people take for granted. Patience and a practical approach are essential.

There are practical reasons why people don't organize their paperwork, but often it's also about other obstacles: What confrontation awaits you when you open the letter? Arrears, debts, things you'd pushed aside. Or you've left the relationship and want a new life, but he's racked up debts, and now you're also liable, and you'll have to pay it off for years to come.

We ask the following of you:

· You have some life and work experience, you are confident and have healthy self-confidence.

· You are patient and can explain details well.

· You have experience in guiding a group.

· You have knowledge of keeping records.

· You have a sense of the vulnerability of our target group.

· You are able to provide a Certificate of Good Conduct.

We offer you:

· The opportunity to gain experience as a supervisor.

· Intervision and support by the volunteer coordinator.

· The opportunity to shape the drop-in hour yourself and participate in its organization.

· An expense allowance and travel allowance.

· The opportunity to spend your free time with us in a meaningful and enjoyable way.
