Détails du poste
Let’s Talk is a new project aimed at reducing loneliness and isolation amongst older people living with early to mid-stage dementia in Shropshire. We are looking to recruit more volunteers from the Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin areas who are able to offer friendly and interesting conversation over the telephone on the same day and at the same time each week for at least 20 minutes or a local walk toincrease physical exercise and provide a short respite for carers. Experience of or an interest in dementia is essential. Dementia Communication and Dementia Friends training as well as ongoing support will be provided. Volunteers will be asked to provide weekly call reports and feedback any welfare concerns about the client to the Age UK Let’s Talk Coordinator. A DBS check is required for the Walking Companion role only.
