The Service

Our Older Persons' Service addresses loneliness and social isolation among older people through volunteer befriending, social cafes, and our Help to Stay at Home service.

The Job

The Older Persons Service promotes social inclusion opportunities for isolated and lonely vulnerable older people, by providing 1:1 support in people’s own homes. Many of these older people have a dementia diagnosis and the regular contact that this service will bring will make a real difference to their day-to-day life. Older people will ideally benefit emotionally through shared interests and experiences with their matched staff member and also through practical assistance, such as help with transport to Health Services, including GP, dentist and hospital appointments, collection of prescriptions, support to attend appointments, shopping trips and social outings.

The purpose of the job is to provide this much-needed light touch support to our elderly service users while working closely with the project workers and volunteers to support the people who receive our services to become engaged and included within their communities.

About You

You will have good computer skills and the ability to use technology efficiently to maintain and update records, combined with a knowledge and understanding of the issues affecting older people, including dementia. The successful candidate will be able to work openly and honestly in a team setting and have an ability to prioritise their own caseload.
