Long-term volunteer in Czech elderly home
Diakonie ČCE - středisko Vsetín

Aprašymas
As a volunteer at Harmony Home, a residential facility for seniors with complex care needs, you will become part of a team that provides both health and social care, with a strong focus on social activation and meaningful everyday life for older people.
Your main role will be to spend time with residents and support leisure and activation activities. This may include playing musical instruments, reading together, talking and reminiscing, browsing books, playing various games, or simply being present and offering companionship.
You will also assist with group and outdoor activities, such as walks, excursions, and larger social or cultural events. In cooperation with the staff, you may help with the organisation of major events and support the pleasant atmosphere of the facility by assisting with the maintenance of indoor and outdoor spaces, including gardens and common areas.
Apgyvendinimas, maitinimas ir transportas
Volunteers receive a daily stipend of 7 EUR. In addition, a 9 EUR per day food allowance is provided. The project also covers the costs of Czech language lessons, local transportation, and all other expenses directly related to the volunteering activity.
We provide accommodation in a private apartment located about a 10-minute walk from the city centre. The apartment has a shared living room with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. There are two bedrooms, each shared by two volunteers, so you will share a room with one other international volunteer.

The main learning process takes place through active participation in daily life at Harmonie Retirement House. Volunteers build meaningful relationships, gain practical experience, and develop communication, social, and teamwork skills in a real-life environment. They also participate in ESC on-arrival and mid-term trainings, offering opportunities for learning, self-reflection, and sharing experiences with international volunteers. According to their interests, volunteers may attend selected staff trainings and courses to expand their knowledge and explore future career opportunities.
