Job description

Link Age Southwark is a vibrant local charity providing support to over 800 older people in Southwark who are feeling lonely or isolated. Our vision is for friendly local communities where older people and those living with a diagnosis of dementia can thrive in their later years.

All our volunteering opportunities are within the London Borough of Southwark, predominantly south of the borough - Camberwell, Peckham, Nunhead, Dulwich and around. 

We run a mixture of social, exercise and activity groups for older people across the borough of Southwark. From singing to yoga, bridge to computer groups, we have something to suit everyone.

Many of our groups are run by professional tutors and our wonderful volunteers who help to set up, welcome group members, serve tea and coffee and tidy up at the end. We are always looking for new faces to join our groups. 

If you have a skill or talent that you would like to share with the group, whether it be arts & crafts, singing, dancing, knowledge of local history or anything in between, we'd love to hear from you!

The role could involve:

  • Leading activities
  • Setting up and clearing away activities
  • Ensuring that appropriate refreshments are available and served and cleared away
  • Socialising with group members
  • Assisting in completing basic admin tasks to ensure that attendance records are kept
  • Assisting in publicising activities within the venue and local community to attract more participants

The role requires:

  • a cheerful and friendly personality
  • good communication/listening skills
  • good physical health
  • commitment to supporting a group on either a weekly or fortnightly basis, dependent on the group
  • good timekeeping and reliability
  • able to work independently
  • attendance at a volunteer induction and other relevant training opportunities
  • completion of a full Disclosure and Barring Service and character reference check
  • a commitment to working within the policies of Link Age Southwark, in particular health and safety, confidentiality, safeguarding and equality and diversity

If you have a skill or talent that you would like to share with the group, whether it is arts & crafts, singing, dancing, knowledge of local history or anything in between, we'd love to hear from you!

Becoming a volunteer with Link Age Southwark is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and get to know more about your local community.

We cover all reasonable expenses and we are happy to provide references for volunteers who have completed 6 months of volunteering with us.

Please note that all our volunteering opportunities are within the London Borough of Southwark, predominantly south of the borough - Camberwell, Peckham, Nunhead, Dulwich and around.
