Interesting about this job

Would you like to help people learn how to solve problems with computers, smartphones, internet and software? We are looking for enthusiastic and patient volunteers to support visitors during our digital walk-in consultations. More and more things are arranged digitally and for some people this is still difficult. Forum Groningen and Stichting SeniorWeb Groningen offer consultation hours to help people get started and give them the opportunity to develop themselves digitally.

Job tasks and duties

People who have questions about computers, software, tablets, smartphones, e-books and e-readers can visit the digital walk-in consultancy in the Forum. During these consultation hours, SeniorWeb Groningen offers help in solving the problems and looks together with the visitor at how they can do this themselves in the future.

As a volunteer at SeniorWeb Groningen, you will offer practical help and create a pleasant and safe atmosphere in which you will teach visitors the skills they need at their own level.

You will help people with, for example:

  • Installing a smartphone.
  • Transferring photos to a laptop.
  • Downloading an app.
  • Installing app for online Library, to borrow and read e-books.
  • Solving a software problem.

Job skills and qualities

  • You are patient, empathetic and contribute to a safe and friendly atmosphere.
  • You have an affinity with the target group, which consists mainly of elderly people and people who are not (digital) literate.
  • You can communicate on the visitor's level so that they understand your explanations.

What do we expect from you?
