**Volunteer Befriender Laindon**

Are you compassionate and want to make a difference in your local community?

At Age Well East, we support individuals to become happier and healthier. A key element of this is providing friendship groups or volunteer friendships to people who are lonely and looking to be connected with other people.

The role of **Volunteer Befriender** is to provide one to one friendship through **Befriending Face to Face.** We support individuals with a range of needs. Before you are introduced to your befriendee, we will talk to you about your passions and skills and where they are best suited. Additionally, we will provide you with any training you require to ensure you are confident and ready to befriend.

For this volunteer role, we are looking for an individual who has experience with or awareness of the friendship needs for a person living with some **mental wellbeing challenges.**

The person who is lonely and in need of friendship also has a passion for **walking and chatting. He also likes to walk to his local café for food and drinks, he just wants a regular friend to do this with.**

Because we work with vulnerable adults, we will carry out DBS and reference checks and provide supportive onboarding training.

We have established an excellent reputation within our local community and our organisational values are: Community, Trust, Compassion, Courage, and Excellence. This is because we feel our volunteers and clients deserve the very best support.

This is a remote position.
