Do you want to help combat loneliness among older people?
Age UK Hertfordshire is recruiting volunteers for its Telephone Befriender scheme, which connects individuals with older people in need of companionship. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to build relationships with older people, share experiences, and provide emotional support.
The role requires a commitment of one hour a week, during which you will phone your matched buddy and engage in conversation. You will receive comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
We estimate that this role would pay around £9.50 per hour, based on local living costs. As a Telephone Befriender, you will not only be making a positive impact but also developing valuable communication and interpersonal skills.
No prior experience is necessary, as Age UK Hertfordshire provides thorough training and guidance. All we ask is that you are willing to dedicate one hour a week to making a difference in someone's life.
