As a Community Volunteer, you'll support people in your local area to lead the life they choose. You'll do a range of tasks depending on what your local area needs. These may include: volunteering in a local café or club, chatting and offering companionship to people, giving dementia-friendly support, food preparation, assisted shopping, helping with transport, caring for pets, delivering books or collecting prescriptions.

If you want a flexible opportunity to support your schedule, a chance to make new friends, and somewhere to develop your skills while contributing to the work of the charity, this could be perfect for you.

You'll need a friendly personality, and an ability to spot areas of concern. It's also important that you have good communication and listening skills, a non-judgemental attitude to someone's circumstances, and that you can ensure confidentiality.
