VOLUNTEER – MAINTENANCE EMPLOYEE

The Grote or Sint-Laurenskerk was rebuilt after the bombing during the Second World War and thus became the symbol of the reconstruction of Rotterdam. Many different activities take place under the gigantic roof. It is also a place that is visited by thousands of tourists from many countries every year.

This oldest, and the only remaining monument from the Middle Ages in the city center of Rotterdam, requires a lot of maintenance for which we are short of resources. The work involves simple maintenance and repair work. For example, carpentry, plastering, electricity, paint work, repairs.

We are looking for volunteers who are available for at least one half day per week. Working hours are negotiable and can be flexible as desired. You will work under the supervision of an administrator in an enthusiastic, social and committed team at a special, dynamic location in Rotterdam. No day is the same. We are also looking for volunteers who are on call for one-off jobs.

Job volunteers can make use of a volunteer expense allowance in accordance with nationally established standards.
