Job description
Age UK Bucks ‘Age Better Bucks’ volunteers will support local older people to achieve personal goals – by helping them navigate and take advantage of a Support Plan devised by as community worker, that is designed to help them meet the challenges of older age.
This could be by phoning them to provide encouragement, explanation and support, and to check on progress, and also to help them with attendance at appointments and going to new groups or activities.
What do Age Better Bucks Volunteers do?
- Work with the Community Support Connector from Age UK Bucks to accept a client and understand their goals and support plan – and which services they have been referred to for support
- Contact the client to introduce yourself, and explain what you can help them with and if that’s OK with them
- Agree how your support is best provided – e.g. weekly calls for progress and encouragement, or help with something specific on their plan. That could be a home visit (if appropriate) to help them make a call or prepare for an appointment; attend a group or activity with them; or help them take a bus etc.
- Report back to the Community Support Connector if there are any issues or concerns and agree when your support can stop
- Ideally, you’d support a few clients each week or month, depending on how much time you have
The role is to support and help the client to access the referrals and support put in place for them – and not to support them with care or specific needs yourself. Referrals might be to local care services, to local groups or clubs, or to an occupational therapist for home adaptations, other voluntary organisations and support groups etc.
Our Age Better Bucks Service
Age Better Bucks supports over 65s who could benefit from extra support to manage their well being and remain independent. It is for older people experiencing challenges or need extra support to stay independent and well – for example increasing loneliness/isolation; bereavement; health/mobility decline; mood change.
Our team of support workers will assess their needs and circumstances specific to them, and develop an action plan with them to ensure more support and help can be arranged. We check in with the client after 6 weeks to see how they are getting on, and after 6 months to see how they are and check if anything has changed, got worse or improved.
The service is designed to give people the tools, contacts and support to make positive changes and especially to tackle the impact of loneliness and isolation.
An action plan, or support plan, will be devised with all clients, identifying their main goals based on their individual needs and challenges, and referring them, with their consent only, to other services and support we agree can help. At this stage we’ll assess if a volunteer like you can help then take full advantage of this support.
What you will get out of it
- Join an enthusiastic team of people who want to make a difference
- It's a great way to support older people making a real difference to their lives
- You'll be giving something back to your community
- You get to be part of Age UK Buckinghamshire's volunteer team
- We will reimburse reasonable, approved out of pocket expenses
- Volunteers tell us they find Volunteering really rewarding and get lots out of it themselves
- You will be fully supported by our Team and wider Age UK Buckinghamshire support.
What is expected of me?
We tell you about each client and ask if you’d like to take it up. You would then arrange and complete the call or visit when convenient. The work you do is conducted in line with guidance we provide and you must comply with necessary procedures including Data Protection/Confidentiality and Personal Safety.
After the visit/contact you will complete and submit a contact form. Volunteers complete relevant training, provide references and complete a DBS check.
Key skills and requirements
- Good listener, clear communicator and able to maintain confidentiality. A good conversationalist!
- Ability to lead the conversation, provide feedback to the team and summarise the conversation.
- Non-judgmental. Able to respect others’ differences and choices
- Patient, flexible and reliable
- Able to work independently with guidance and support
- Ability to travel around the area to visit people
- A regular commitment to give 1-2 hours a week would be appreciated but the role is flexible, you can work from home, do visits, only make calls, whatever works for you.
- An interest in helping older people live the lives they want

Job description
Befriending Volunteer
Would you like to offer companionship to someone who feels lonely, help them rebuild confidence, reconnect with their community, or simply brighten their week with a friendly chat?
What do Befriending Volunteers do?
Our volunteers support older people (50+) who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or cut off from their usual activities. Volunteers help clients rebuild confidence, reconnect socially, and enjoy meaningful conversation.
Support can take different forms depending on the client’s needs:
Short-term Face-to-Face Support (up to 6 months)
- Visiting someone regularly to help them work towards personal goals
- Encouraging confidence to get out and about again
- Supporting them to re-engage with interests, community groups, or social activities
Long-term Befriending (for those most isolated)
- Providing stable, ongoing social support
- Regular facetoface or telephone companionship
- Building a consistent and trusting relationship
National Telephone Befriending
- Offering friendly conversation over the phone
- Providing regular social contact for people unable to meet in person
This is a rewarding and varied volunteer role where every person you meet will be different — and you’ll have the chance to make a meaningful difference to their wellbeing.
What you will get out of it
- A chance to support older people and make a real positive impact
- A meaningful role where relationships grow and confidence returns
- Opportunities to meet new people and experience new things
- Being part of Age UK Buckinghamshire’s volunteer team
- Full training, ongoing support, and guidance from your Outreach Support Worker
Our volunteers tell us they find befriending incredibly fulfilling and often get as much from the relationship as the client does
What is expected of me?
- We will talk you through each potential match before you decide to take it on
- Most volunteers commit around 1–2 hours a week
- Shortterm matches typically last up to 6 months; longterm befriending is ongoing
- Time may be spent visiting someone at home, accompanying them to a local activity, or chatting with them by phone
- Volunteers complete a short online training program and provide references
- A DBS check will be required (provided at no cost)
Who can volunteer?
If you are warm, friendly, patient, and enjoy chatting with people, this could be the role for you. You do not need any formal qualifications, just a desire to support someone who is feeling vulnerable or alone.

About Us
Age UK Buckinghamshire is a local, independent charity and part of the wider Age UK Network. We support older people across the county through vital services including befriending, information and advice, dementia support, practical help at home, and welfare benefits support - helping people stay independent, connected, and supported.
Our work is more important now than ever. Many older people face growing challenges such as the rising cost of living, social isolation, and difficulty accessing support.
As demand for our services continues to increase, community support is essential to help us reach more people in need. By raising awareness of what we do, we can ensure that older people know where to turn for help, and inspire others to support our work through volunteering, fundraising, and partnership.
About the Role
We are looking for enthusiastic and confident Charity Ambassadors who are passionate about giving back to their community and making a difference, to help raise awareness of our work. This is a rewarding and flexible role, ideal for individuals who enjoy meeting new people and speaking in public.
As a Charity Ambassador, you will represent Age UK Buckinghamshire at a range of events and settings such as community groups, Rotary Clubs, Church groups, and other local events and venues. You will help raise awareness of the support available to older people, providing information about our services and how people can access advice, practical help, and companionship when they need it.
You will also share the impact of our work by bringing it to life through real examples and stories, helping others understand the real difference this support makes to older people’s lives. By demonstrating this impact, you will highlight why support through fundraising, volunteering, and partnership opportunities is so important in helping us reach more people in need.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging presentations and talks about Age UK Buckinghamshire’s work
- Represent the charity at community events, meetings, and local groups
- Help raise awareness of services available to older people
- Promoting planned fundraising initiatives and activities.
- Thank and recognise supporters and fundraisers within the community
- Assist in reviewing, adapting, and improving presentation materials (e.g. PowerPoint slides)
- Act as a positive and professional ambassador for the organisation
What You’ll Gain
- The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your community
- Experience in public speaking and community engagement
- The chance to work alongside our Community Engagement, Fundraising, and Services teams
- Full training, including opportunities to shadow our services, and ongoing support from our team
- Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses
- A chance to be part of a friendly and supportive charity network
Time commitment
This is a flexible role to suit your availability. Charity Ambassadors will be contacted as appropriate and offered the opportunity to attend events to which we are invited. Talks and events may be delivered alongside another volunteer or staff member, or occasionally independently.
Training & Support
All Charity Ambassadors will receive training, resources, and guidance to help them feel confident in delivering presentations and representing the charity. This will include opportunities to shadow our services and gain a deeper understanding of the support we provide to older people.
