Royal Voluntary Service
- VO98749
Royal Voluntary Service are looking for volunteers to support their Healthy and Happy Lives Groups, which are lunch and activity groups that run three times a week in Larick Centre in Tayport.
Volunteers are needed to support people to attend regular social activities, connect to their community and boost their wellbeing by living as independently as they can.
You could be driving people to local activities, offering lunches and healthy snacks, and tailoring support through social activities. Some of the things you could be doing include offering tips on nutrition and hydration, helping with strength and mobility boosting exercises, or taking part in crafts and hobbies with an older person. If you'd like to have a positive effect on people in your community, this is the role for you.
Experience required
You'll need a friendly personality, and to be able to spot areas of concern. Good communication and listening skills are a must, as well as a non-judgemental attitude towards someone's circumstances, and the ability to keep things confidential.
