About this opportunity
Having a conversation can have such a positive impact. That?s why we offer a Friendship Service which listens, provides friendship and offers support. We can talk about all sorts, from current interests, hobbies, personal and professional goals, top tier biscuits, time travel - the list is endless!
The role of a Friendship Caller Volunteer is to provide friendship, companionship and a listening ear to people who are 50 and over and would benefit from a weekly chat. We are looking for volunteers who can volunteer 2-3 hours of their time on the same day each week.
Excellent support and relevant training is provided to all volunteers. Including:
- Full training on call-handling and our systems will be available to ensure you're confident taking your first call!
- In addition, on-going training, support and Age Scotland In-House training will be made available to volunteers.
If you enjoy a blether over the phone and commit to 2 hours per week on the same day, for 6 months we'd love to hear from you! All help makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.
