Care Home Support Volunteer - The Fairways Care Home

Care homes are busy environments with a variety of activity happening every day.  We are looking for volunteers who can support homes in a flexible way picking up tasks as directed.  This could include assisting with an activity, setting up rooms, basic administration, delivering laundry and any other tasks as required. 

As a Care Home Support Volunteer you will provide valuable support to the care home team by offering a flexible approach and completing or assisting with tasks as required. There are so many things to help with, either with residents directly or supporting staff and we would like volunteers to be flexible but also to choose what they are comfortable with.  Tasks could vary week to week.

This role offers a very flexible volunteering experience and is of great value to our care homes as it means that a variety of tasks can be completed as needed.  This in turn benefits our residents as volunteers are on hand to assist with tasks or spend time with residents as required. You can also enrich your own life with new experiences and friendships. You will also gain valuable skills and knowledge that can enhance your personal and professional development.

Generally, we ask for a minimum of one hour per week for at least six months. For this role you will need to commit to 2-3 hours per week.

You will receive ongoing support and guidance from the Care Home team. You will also have access to online resources, training opportunities, and peer support from other volunteers.
Travel expenses will be paid.
