Hostess or hostess for the Wende autism cafe

Who are they?

Wende wants to connect: bring people with a form of autism together and offer a pleasant evening or activity. Do fun things and share experiences. Meeting new people and building social contacts in a pleasant, quiet environment. Wende derives its raison d'être from volunteers' champs. All different and all curious, passionate and supportive. Volunteers with and without autism.

Role and responsibilities:

• As a volunteer in the Wende Autismecafé in GIGANT, you work together with another volunteer on a fixed evening (1x per month). You are then the main host / hostess and present at the agreed time.
• You welcome visitors and put them at ease. In this way you contribute to a pleasant evening, in line with the principles of the Wende café.
• You oversee the whole, ensure that the group runs smoothly and give it a twist if necessary. You are stress-resistant and respond adequately to unexpected questions or comments.
• You are present all evening. If you are unable to do so, you can try to arrange a replacement yourself through your colleagues.

They ask:

• You are involved, enthusiastic and enjoy working for Wende
• The other is central, you receive guests and you act as a service provider
• You are communicatively strong and show initiative
• You can work well together and put yourself in someone else's shoes
• You have an affinity with people with autism and/or are an expert by experience

They provide

The opportunity to gain work experience in the social domain. You are committed to your fellow man with autism and are active in a part of the welfare network in Apeldoorn. This commitment is very welcome, much appreciated and completely voluntary. The Wende evenings are unique and fun. And of course the drinks of the volunteers are at Wende's expense.

Time commitment:

• Once a month an evening in the café
