Re-Engage (Midlothian)

Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for our older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated.
As a tea party group coordinator, you will ensure older guests know when and where the next tea party will be held and who will be collecting them each month. This is an administrative role that requires planning and scheduling, you must be comfortable organising monthly events with volunteer hosts, socialising, communicating with people and resolving issues that might arise. Sometimes, tea party group coordinators are also drivers or hosts for their group, but this is not a requirement of being a coordinator.
You will need a PVG for this role.
Experience required
· Excellent communication skills
· Good administrative skills and IT literacy
· Enjoys socialising and meeting new people
· A friendly, empathetic approach
· Able to solve problems
· A passion for improving the lives of lonely and isolated older people
