Befriender
Make a difference by providing company and conversation to an older person in Croydon.
Our Befriending service supports older adults by alleviating loneliness and isolation, supporting independence, and increasing self-confidence, by making weekly or fortnightly visits to a client living in the borough of Croydon.
What is expected of you:
- Providing companionship in the client's home, or regular phone calls
- Giving weekly updates of visits to the Befriending Coordinator
- Good listening skills
- Willingness to adhere to Age UK Croydon's policies and procedures
What you will gain:
- Training, and regular support and supervision
- Travel expenses where applicable
- The opportunity to take part in our Volunteering Programme events
