Information & Advice Community Outreach Volunteers – Age UK
About this organisation
Age UK East Sussex is an independent Charity in East Sussex offering support and services to older people. We want to make East Sussex a great place to grow older.
About this opportunity
This is a rewarding opportunity to meet new people, support your local community, and help individuals access the information and services they need.
As part of our friendly team, you will attend local groups and community activities, offering information, guidance, and signposting to relevant services, support organisations, and community groups. You may also help people complete a range of forms, including Attendance Allowance applications and other benefit-related paperwork, giving them the confidence and support they need to access available help.
We’re looking for people who enjoy working as part of a team, meeting new people, and making a positive difference in their community. You’ll be a good listener with strong communication skills, a caring and empathetic approach, and a willingness to help others. Basic IT skills and record-keeping experience are helpful, and experience using the internet and Microsoft 365 would be an advantage.
Don’t worry if you’re still learning though, as training and support will be provided. We reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while volunteering.
This role is only open to volunteers aged 18+, available Monday through to Friday, and we ask for a commitment of 3-4 hours a week.
