Support at Home volunteers transform the lives of individuals by supporting and empowering them to live the life they want and helping them to stay connected to their communities. You could be driving someone somewhere, taking them shopping, offering information on nutrition or just being there to improve their confidence and reduce their isolation. However you help, you could make a real difference to peoples’ lives.
You will work with someone to find out what would improve their life, then support them to take positive steps so that they can connect with their community and reduce their isolation. This may mean one-to-one or group activities, or a tie in with other services in the area – whatever that person needs. Sometimes, you’ll work on your own, other times you will be building relationships with the people you visit, something that is rewarding for you and the people you spend time with.
Experience required
The volunteer will need to have a friendly personality and good communication skills, with a non-judgmental attitude towards an individual’s circumstances and a willingness to ensure confidentiality. They will receive relevant training for the role and will be welcomed and supported by a friendly, local team.
