Day Care Assistant - Thursday Club

Calton Welfare Services
VO73196

Volunteers would help to organise games and activities to stimulate and provide exercise for dementia sufferers. Would also help to provide lunch and breakfast, by making food, clearing tables and washing/drying dishes. A rota system is in place so everyone takes a turn at different duties. There would also be a chance for conversation and reminiscence, to enable the volunteer to get to know everyone better. The atmosphere is one of fun and laughter and provides a great deal of satisfaction.

Experience required

Volunteers need to be aware of the needs of older people and have an understanding of dementia. They have to be punctual, reliable and respect confidentiality. Volunteers would need to be caring and good listeners and be able to work as part of a team.

Travel details

The Club is held at Pilmeny Resource Centre 15 Buchanan Street Edinburgh EH6 8SH. Volunteers would make their own way there and any travel expenses would be reimbursed.
