Companion Call Volunteer

1 week ago


Home Based, United Kingdom Alzheimer's Society Full time £10,000 - £20,000 per year


Are you looking for a volunteering role that is fulfilling and flexible, one that you can carry out from your own home? Do you enjoy chatting with others? If so, why not become a Companion Call volunteer?

People with dementia and their carers can become isolated and lonely, our Companion Call volunteers help to brighten up their lives.

As a Companion Call volunteer you will be matched with someone affected by dementia and will phone them regularly to chat about anything that interests them. By dedicating a little time each week you'll make a big impact, providing laughter, creating meaningful connections and helping people know they are not alone.

Although an understanding of dementia is beneficial, you will not be providing information or advice so no prior knowledge is necessary.

About Alzheimer's Society

Alzheimer's Society is here for everyone affected by dementia.

By 2025, an estimated 1 million people will be living with the condition in the UK, and many millions more carers, partners, families and friends will be affected.

Dementia is a complex condition, and there's no one-size fits all solution but until we find a cure, our aim is to transform lives today.

We do this by:

  • Providing flexible support services so that people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, can access expert advice and guidance, support through their most challenging days, and a safe space to turn when they need it.
  • Being a force for change - using research and influencing to push for breakthroughs that will change the lives of people affected by dementia now and in future.

Our Values

Determined to make a difference: We're passionate, we're focused and we make a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.

Trusted expert: We're listening, we're learning and we use experience and evidence.

Better together: We're open, we combine our strengths and we achieve more together.

Compassionate: We're kind, we're honest and we don't shy away from challenges.

Equal opportunities

Alzheimer's Society is committed to equal opportunities.

Alzheimer's Society embraces diversity, inclusion and accessibility for all of our people. We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do.

This means ensuring our recruitment processes are barrier-free and as inclusive as possible to everyone. We will look at making reasonable adjustments for people who have a disability or long-term condition.
