People Know How ( East Lothian )
- VO98882
We are looking for volunteers to support digital groups that take place across communities in Edinburgh and East Lothian, providing advice to people who are looking to improve their digital skills.
From offering basic support with turning on or using a device, to focused help in areas like how to keep in touch with friends and family online; how to save money online; or help with CV writing, job searches and applying for jobs online.
You will be encouraging the person to learn at their own pace to build their confidence, provide a consistent level of customer service and support our staff in obtaining monitoring and evaluation data.
Experience required
You don’t need to be an IT expert as training will be provided but you’ll be friendly, patient and keen to help people from various backgrounds get online in order to improve their overall wellbeing.
Travel expenses
Volunteers can claim travel expenses every month.
