Companion Volunteer

Marie Curie are launching a new pilot scheme to provide support to care home residents, and we're looking for volunteers to join us in the Springburn area. Your main task will be to visit with the residents who have been identified by the staff in the care home as in need of support, chatting with them, reading to them or helping them to engage in activities they enjoy. This is an exciting new project, and we will also be looking for you to provide us with a very short piece of feedback after each visit. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to make a difference to people at risk of social isolation who live in care homes, and who love working with others. If this sounds like the role for you, then please get in touch with us today.

Experience required

Training will be provided
