Interesting about this job
You are not just a buddy. You are there to give someone exclusive attention. You gain priceless (life) experience and you help someone build a social life again after a difficult period.
Job tasks and duties
A man in his late 50s has had a buddy before, chatting and drinking coffee for an hour every week. After a difficult period, he is trying to build up a social life again. The amount of contacts has become limited. What he expects from a buddy: just chatting with someone for an hour a week about hobbies, daily world events and/or other everyday matters. A kind of basis that you can count on, the certainty of a weekly chat. First from his home, then perhaps an occasional outing, e.g. a walk, a visit to a museum or other small positive steps. His hobbies (painting and poetry), his passion for art movements (expressionism, impressionism, Hendrik Werkman/de Ploeg, the Groninger Museum), but also the world news. Do you see similarities and would you like to meet this man every week?
