Dementia Volunteer - Broughty Ferry

Do you want to offer one-to-one support to adults living in the community who may be at risk of social isolation? You can provide support by visiting them in their homes and by accessing local activities.

Don't let the word dementia put you off, these groups are full of laughter and fun, you really will enjoy yourself

Dementia Volunteers transform the lives of people by supporting and empowering them to live the life they want and stay connected to their communities. Whether it is dropping in for a cup of tea, a trip to the shops, bringing friends together for lunch or changing a light bulb, our volunteers make a real difference to the people they support.

As a Dementia Volunteer you will work with a person to identify what could improve their life, whilst also enabling them to take positive steps to connect to their community and reduce their isolation. This could include one-to-one or group activities and may link into other services in the area - whatever suits the individual. Your role will involve elements of lone working and building a relationship with those you visit, which is hugely rewarding for both you and the person you are supporting. We also have opportunities available for people with specific skills, so please tell us what your strengths are when we meet.

Are you available at any of these times:

• Thursday: 1.30pm - 3.15pm

Additional checks required:

• This role requires a criminal record check
• This role requires references

We will provide all necessary training to help you feel confident and safe when volunteering with us. You'll also gain access to our award winning e-learning site which provides a range of learning materials on a range of topics.
