Volunteer guide entrepreneurs in trouble

As a volunteer you can guide entrepreneurs who are in trouble?

It is the order of the day, the Coronavirus is hitting hard. Due to all the restrictions, many small entrepreneurs, self‑employed, get into trouble. Since many entrepreneurs now rely on Over Rood, we are diligently looking for volunteers who can support entrepreneurs.

Over Rood is a volunteer organization that assists entrepreneurs. Over Rood guides and supports self‑employed persons with starting a business, insufficient income, payment arrears, debts, administrative arrears, tax (return) arrears and business termination for financial reasons.

For our location in Apeldoorn (in the Ondernemingshuis), with the Stedendriehoek and Veluwe region, we are looking for experienced (former) entrepreneurs and managers who want to use their knowledge and experience as volunteers to help the self‑employed. The commitment is approximately 3 to 4 hours per week. This is an unpaid position with a fixed expense allowance.

As a volunteer at Over Rood you make a difference and help people regain their strength. Under your guidance, a client can structurally map his problems and choose the best possible solution. You get entrepreneurs out of a negative spiral and help them get back on track. You guide clients through a support process within Over Rood. The objective of each trajectory is to provide the client with resources so that he can make conscious decisions and show behaviour to get out of the unwanted problematic situation.

Of course you are not alone. Volunteering at Over Rood means training of at least four days. In addition to the training, there are all kinds of opportunities for further development.

• space to use your talent and experience for others within a professional organization
• learn from each other and exchange knowledge, so that you can continue to develop yourself and stay informed of current developments
• a solid and instructive internal training
• socially committed colleagues who, together with you, use their knowledge, experience and strength to really make a difference for our clients
• as a volunteer you receive appreciation from clients and satisfaction in your work
• you make a valuable contribution to the Dutch economy and a healthy business climate

If you would like more information or to make an appointment, please send an email to our branch manager Henk Holtrigter at apeldoorn.
