About this opportunity

We're looking for sociable and friendly volunteers to support people with a life limiting illness in the community. We know little things matter, whether it's having a cup of tea and a chat or getting out and about. Our Helper Service volunteers are there to provide their client with companionship, information and help with activities like making a cup of tea or visiting a favourite place.

You will also be helping their carers and loved ones with respite and a friendly listening ear. No experience is necessary, as we will give you full training when you join us. Training for this role will include information specific to supporting someone with a terminal illness and how to look after your own wellbeing while supporting others. You will also be supported by our Volunteer Coordinator and will have regular communication where you will be able to ask for additional support if you feel you need it.

This is an ideal role for a volunteer who enjoys meeting new people and wants to be part of a local team making a difference in their community. If this sounds like the role for you then we would love to hear from you today.

To volunteer with us/for more details please contact Clare Scott, Volunteer Coordinator at email: clare.scott@mariecurie.org.uk or telephone: 07753267396.
