Older Persons Home Support Volunteer
7 days ago
** volunteering opportunity**
Food Train is an award winning Scottish charity that supports older people across the country to maintain their independence at home through a variety of services.
Our 'At Home' service, for which we are seeking volunteers, helps our members undertake the household tasks that many of us take for granted on a day to day basis such as basic cleaning (hoovering/dusting), changing bed linen or washing windows.
For our older members, many of whom have mobility and other age related health issues, these tasks are becoming increasingly difficult to undertake and support from our volunteers to do them can be life changing
All tasks are agreed in advance between Food Train members and staff so that volunteers know what they will be required to assist with prior to attending a members home.
Cleaning of bathrooms is not undertaken as a task, neither is any cleaning roles that may require more than a basic maintenance clean. i.e deep cleans are not undertaken
No formal skills or qualifications are required, and all necessary equipment and supplies are provided by Food Train on an as required basis. All we ask is that applicants have a kind, friendly nature and dont mind on occasion, using a little elbow grease to get things done
If you think this sounds like something you could get involved in, we'd love to hear from you and our members would love to meet you
