Volunteer Rainbow Call Companion Co-ordinator

As a rainbow call companion, you will be someone who identifies as LGBT+ who wants to support lonely older LGBT+ people. You will be the main point of contact for the rainbow call companions and older people in your group. Our rainbow call companion co-ordinators are a vital part of the Re-engage team, ensuring that their group of rainbow call companions have all the support and information they need to make regular friendship calls to older people.

This is a challenging and rewarding role which might be a bit busy to begin with but will take up less of your time once your group is fully up and running. You’ll be checking in with your group members once a month and you’ll conduct a short wellbeing questionnaire with the older people in the group every six months.

You will need one reference and to complete an ID check for this role.


Tasks include:



  • Setting up the first rainbow call companion calls for your group by getting in touch with the rainbow call companions and older people

  • Checking in with the older people in your group once they have had their first rainbow call companion call

  • Keeping in regular contact with your team of rainbow call companions and sharing any updates from Re-engage that are relevant to them

  • Responding to any issues and queries from the rainbow call companions and older people in your group
