Everyone has the right to relax. Even those for whom it is less obvious. That's why Belgian Red Cross-Flanders organizes vacations and camps for:

  • adults (18+) with physical and/or mental disabilities
  • children with disabilities from socially vulnerable families

Among other things, we are looking for caregivers to join us as volunteers for this purpose. Something for you?

You take care of our participants with knowledge

  • Together with care volunteers, you will help them in the morning and evening with getting up, washing, dressing and undressing, ...
  • During the day, you will support our participants during activities, games, meals, outings, toilet visits, ...
  • You will supervise and coach our care volunteers.
  • As a caregiver with the appropriate qualification, you will assist nurses with medical procedures when necessary. 

You also provide quality time
You get to know the participants personally. You take time for a chat, a game or other forms of relaxation. And you get a lot in return.
