Stellify Award: This opportunity is part of 'Make a Difference'
Organisation Description: We want to deliver the best possible quality of support to people so they are heard, respected, safe and in control of their own life.
Description of role: Do you have the patience and understanding to chat with people in care homes about their experiences there? Could you help improve the life of someone in a care home by listening to their feelings, thoughts and wishes?
You could help support people who have no-one else.
This role is ideal for social worker students, those interested in the care sector and/or dementia care.
Volunteering with VoiceAbility is ideal for people who have or want experience in human rights, health, care and wellbeing - but we care more about your values and empathy than your level of experience.
You’ll develop skills in communication and confidentiality, add experience and knowledge to your CV, and know you’re making a genuine difference to people’s lives.
As a volunteer you’ll receive full training, support from the volunteer team and your local advocates, and out of pocket expenses.
