Communication Support Volunteers (Hospital & Group) (Living Well With Aphasia)

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (Aberdeen & Grampian Services)
VO105924

Everyone has the right to live life to the full. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid, many people experience fear and isolation, and struggle with the impact on their lives. The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.
Join our amazing team of Communication Support Volunteers, who support people who have had one of our conditions to develop autonomy and confidence in self-management, enabling them to fully engage with their community and activities of their choosing. This role will support people with communication difficulty to access supported self management in a group setting at one of our Living Well with Aphasia groups.
Volunteering also provides the opportunity to:
• Make a real difference to people with our conditions
• Meet new people
• Use, learn and develop new skills
• Access to a bespoke range of training and development to support you in your role
• Improve your own health and wellbeing
• To explore different roles within our organisation
