Befriending Volunteers – Age UK East Sussex
About this organisation
Age UK East Sussex is an independent Charity working in East Sussex to offer support and services to older people. We want to make East Sussex a great place to grow older.
About this opportunity
As a Befriender Volunteer, you will be making sure that older people can access the services they require and making the County a great place to grow old. You will also meet new people, via phone, and occasionally in person (if you want to and its relevant).
You will be part of a great team of volunteers. You’ll love to speak to people and have a caring and empathetic nature as you will be phoning older people for a chat to identify their service requirements.
We will provide you with support, the required training and reimburse your telephone expenses. You will need you own phone (we can show you how to hide your number) and ideally, internet access.
The hours for this role are flexible and you can work from the comfort of your own home.
A DBS check is only required if you decide to visit clients in their home. The minimum age for applicants is 18 and over for this role.
