Job description

Health appointments are crucial for staying well, but we know that getting there, navigating the journey, or remembering everything said during an appointment can be stressful or overwhelming, especially alone.

Our volunteers accompany beneficiaries – on foot, or by bus, taxi or patient transport – and provide support, connection and care, often during the appointment itself.

We’re looking for compassionate and committed people to join our team and help older people maintain their wellbeing. This is a rewarding, flexible role suitable for people who cannot make regular weekly commitments.

Key attributes:

  • An interest in working with older people
  • Ability to provide encouragement and support in a sensitive and caring manner, to people from a variety of backgrounds
  • Flexibility and able to use own initiative
  • Good levels of organisation, reliability, and timekeeping
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality
