Do you want to volunteer in a role which makes a difference to someone's life by offering to do their shopping for them?
Volunteering for Food Train is rewarding and it makes a huge difference to people’s lives. It’s amazing the impact that regular support with grocery shopping can have on someone who is isolated or lonely. If you want to make sure that an older person is able to live well in their own home this is a great opportunity to do so.
The Role:
• Contact the older person you are matched with on a regular basis, usually weekly, to obtain their shopping list, carry out their shopping and then deliver to their home, putting away if necessary.
• Submit brief records, receipts for payment and to report any matters of concern to staff
• Keep within the boundaries of the role
• To inform Food Train Connects Staff of any accidents, incidents or complaints
• To maintain confidentiality
• To represent Food Train in a professional manner to our members and the wider community
Experience required
An interest in people and their lives is essential
• Friendly, sociable and patient with a caring manner
• Ability to carry out regular shopping and deliver to older person’s home
• Good verbal communication skills are required with a sense of humour who can adapt your conversation to different types of people
• Maintain consistent communication with Food Train Connects staff throughout
Volunteers (aged 12-25) taking part in this opportunity are eligible to claim Saltire Awards hours for their activity.
