Region of Rotterdam/Dordrecht
Do you help vulnerable migrants stay healthy?
We are looking for Ukrainian speaking Life Skills trainers
The Netherlands Red Cross is there for people in need. Both around the corner and far away. We help from our hearts and with our sleeves rolled up. We also make sure that people can help themselves and teach them how to help others. So that in times of need, no one is alone.
Worldwide, we work on the basis of our seven fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. Since 2015, the Netherlands Red Cross has been providing medical and psychosocial support to migrants who are in a vulnerable position. In various cities we organize first aid/CPR training courses and the Life Skills workshop series. In these workshops, participants learn how to better protect their (mental and physical) health and where to find professional help when needed. We try to give participants a basic knowledge of the Dutch healthcare system and to offer a listening ear in difficult times.

- Organize Life Skills workshops for small groups of migrants at shelter locations for Ukrainian refugees;
- Thinking along about project developments;
- Follow the current affairs regarding vulnerable migrants in the Netherlands and regionally;
- Participate in training courses and team/intervision meetings for volunteers.

- Has empathy for people, but can also set professional boundaries;
