Volunteer Outings Helper

7 months ago

Falkirk, United Kingdom Food Train, Falkirk Full time

Have some time to spare? Want to meet new people? Interested in helping older people?

If you like chatting, meeting people and getting out and about this could be the role for you.

We have a large number of older people in Falkirk experiencing loneliness and isolation who enjoy getting out and speaking to others from their local area. Our volunteer outing helpers assist our members in accessing trips to local cafes and places of interest.

The Food Train is a registered charity and this role is based within the Falkirk branch. A more specific description of the befriending role is below:

- Collecting and returning home older people, either as a chaperone on a minibus operated by a local company or in your own vehicle if preferred.
- You must be reliable and presentable - outings will be arranged in advance by Food Train Staff.
- Minimum commitment of 1 outing per month (approx. 4 hours)
- In addition to the above we are looking for 3 lead volunteers who will take responsibility for collecting an appropriate payment method from the Food Train office, making payments on outings and returning receipts to the office. Volunteers will not be expected to make payments out of their own pocket.
- Update staff after outings, and be involved in monitoring/reviewing as required
- Inform staff of any concerns, accidents, or complaints
- Option to attend volunteer meetings, training and social events throughout the year
- There are no formal education requirements for this post, however, you must be a good communicator with a good sense of humour
- An awareness and understanding of the needs of older people and the difficulties they may face living at home whilst ageing would be beneficial

**Please note that this is a volunteer role so is not a formally paid job, although volunteer expenses can be reimbursed. This role is dependent on a successful PVG check.**
