Summary

De Eik is a diverse group of people who need the necessary guidance. A number of clients are familiar with epilepsy. As a result, they cannot manage to go swimming without a volunteer. That is why De Eik is looking for a swimming volunteer who can also help with changing the clients.

Detailed description

The target group:
A versatile group of 14 clients with an intellectual disability with a level between 6 months and 10 years lives at de Eik. Communication is done on the basis of icons and photos. The group works with a fixed day program and there is always swimming on Friday afternoon. Clients enjoy the movement and the game immensely. Due to their disability, they need extra help, structure and attention. Can you give it together with our supervisors?
Do you have your swimming diploma, do you like swimming and do you enjoy being busy in the water with people with intellectual disabilities? Then we are looking for you! Come by for a cup of coffee and hopefully you'll go swimming with them!
