Hus Forbi is looking for volunteer retirees and early retirees

Hus Forbi is looking for retirees, early retirees and others who have the opportunity to volunteer during the day between 9 am and 2 pm, and who also have life experience as well as practical and organizational skills in cooking. We are looking for volunteers to help run the lunch program in our café and community center in Vanløse, where homeless and socially vulnerable people come every day to drink coffee, take a shower or do laundry, buy Hus Forbi newspapers and eat lunch.

The tasks consist of:

• Planning and shopping for lunch for about 30 people
• Cooking, serving and cleaning up after meals
• To be present and talk to the homeless and vulnerable people who use the cafe
• Together with employees and other volunteers in the house, help develop Hus Forbi's café and lunch program to become the best possible offer for our users.

We offer:

You will become part of one of the most important homeless associations in Denmark, helping over 700 homeless and socially vulnerable people across the country. In addition, you will receive:

• Responsibility for an important task that helps to increase the quality of life for homeless people, socially disadvantaged people and Hus Forbi sellers in Copenhagen every day
• Meetings with a number of homeless, socially disadvantaged and quirky people who greatly appreciate both the food and the company of the volunteers
• Opportunity to become part of a workplace where both volunteers and employees are proud to make a difference for people in need
• Ongoing sparring with our employees as well as introduction and up-skilling training in conflict management and social work

Practical

You will be part of a small team with other volunteers, and we expect you to have the opportunity to take at least one shift every 14 days, between 9 am and 2 pm.
