Companion Volunteer

• Marie Curie (Aberdeen City & Shire)

• VO105926

Marie Curie is looking for compassionate, everyday people to join our Companion Team within the surrounding areas of Inverurie, Banchory, Kemnay and Oldmeldrum.
You don’t need a medical background or all the answers – just a kind heart, a listening ear, and a little time to give.
Take time to visit someone in their home - listen to them, share in their hobbies or interests, and enjoy meaningful conversations about life and the world around them. Even a simple chat over a cup of tea or coffee can offer comfort, companionship, and a steady, reassuring presence
What you’ll be part of:
Offering emotional comfort and conversation
Help someone express what matters most to them
Share helpful information
Support family members or carers, before and after bereavement.
You’ll receive full training and ongoing support from the Marie Curie Team, and you’ll be joining a team who care just as much as you do
Please note that Marie Curie will never ask you to do anything you’re not comfortable with

Experience required

Patient and non-judgmental of others
Emotionally steady during sensitive moments
Able to commit to 3 hours per week
Comfortable using email and filling in a short visit report
Respectful of personal boundaries and confidentiality
