Volunteer Home Visitor
7 months ago
Can you spare a few hours a week to brighten someone’s day?
Our veteran in Welshpool is looking for a volunteer to visit regularly for a chat and to get out and about for coffee.
We are committed to supporting our blind veterans no matter where they are. Our community home visitors provide crucial social interaction for our veterans who can’t reach our centres and can often feel isolated or lonely.
By popping by once a week or fortnight to see a veteran in their area, home visitors are a friendly face that can make all the difference. A visit could be a simple chat and a cup of tea, or getting out and about in the local area. You will never be asked to do any personal care.
You will need to be able to travel independently to and from our veteran’s home, **willingness to drive and access to a car** would be of an advantage. All agreed out of pocket expenses such as travel costs will be met by Blind Veterans UK.
Although you will be working in the community independently, your manager is only a phone call away and there is a network of other volunteers for you to link in with too.
Volunteers must be over the age of 18 years and understand the importance of confidentiality and relationship boundaries. The role can be flexible around your other commitments, but we ask that you are reliable and punctual for our veterans. You will be fully trained and supported so you feel comfortable and confident in your volunteering.
