Exeter, United Kingdom Blind Veterans UK Full time

Can you spare a few hours a week to brighten someone’s day?

Our veteran enlisted into the Army (Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers) in 1957 and after serving in the UK he was discharged in 1960. A lovely gentleman with lots of interesting stories to tell he was involved in motorcycle trials, and loved walks in the countryside, sadly interests he is no longer able to enjoy. Life has become more challenging recently and this lovely chap would like someone to help him with shopping and getting out a bit more. Just a couple of hours of your time every other week could really brighten his day.

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 to our veterans. A visit could be a simple chat and a cup of tea, helping out with odd jobs around the home that can otherwise be a struggle for our veterans to complete or getting out and about in the local area. You will never be asked to do any personal care.

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.

**Job Type**: Volunteer

**Salary**: £1.00-£2.00 per day
