The DementieLijn of Alzheimer Nederland is a helpline, especially for people with dementia and their carers. Life with dementia is complicated and always presents you with new challenges. Then it is nice to be able to ask your questions to an expert, or simply to tell your story to someone who understands what it is like to live with (someone with) dementia.

In addition to all online options for information exchange, a 1-on-1 conversation remains of great value. Fortunately, many people know how to find the Dementia Line. They often call with a specific question about the care of their loved one, but also to blow off steam, to express concerns or to be able to talk freely.

How you can help
Are you a professional (HBO/WO) in the care of people with dementia (for example as a case manager or psychologist) and do you want to use your knowledge and experience for others who need it? Then this challenging volunteer position at the DementieLijn is probably something for you!

What you're going to do
As a volunteer you give advice and tips about dealing with dementia by telephone. You also offer a listening ear to carers and people with dementia. You are familiar with the activities of Alzheimer Nederland and can refer you to other experts if necessary. You have broad knowledge about dementia and you can work at higher vocational education level. You are available for a part of the day (4-5 hours) per week for a telephone service.
You have a pleasant telephone voice and speak the Dutch language fluently.
You work from home and you get the opportunity to organize your time flexibly.

With your commitment, you and the other volunteers can make an important contribution to supporting people with dementia and their loved ones. And that is meaningful and rewarding work!

' ' After working in healthcare for many years, I can now commit myself to the Dementia Line. I am glad that my knowledge and experience will not be lost.”
