Interesting about this job
You work quite independently, have extraordinary encounters and you get some fresh air. What more could you want? Note: working with homeless people is extremely addictive!
Job tasks and duties
Together with a colleague, you will take a ride on the Breakfast Bike through the City on early Wednesday mornings. You will visit people sleeping outside at their sleeping place and bring them coffee, tea and sandwiches. Sometimes there will be some extra with breakfast. So before you cycle, you make sure the coffee, tea and sandwiches are prepared.
The sleeping places of many outdoor sleepers are known to the organisation, so you'll do a targeted search. But if you come across another outdoor sleeper, you can of course offer them a good breakfast. After all, a good breakfast makes for a good start to the day! The underlying aim is to get an insight into the whereabouts of people.
