This is a very rewarding opportunity to provide much needed companionship and social contact for an isolated older person in your local community. You will be matched with a client and visit them in their own home for around an hour once a week for a chat and maybe a cuppa. If appropriate you may accompany the client on a short walk.

What skills do I need?

We are looking for a good communicator, reliable, trustworthy, patient and sensitive with an interest in older people and empathy with their needs and understand the importance of confidentiality.
