Suitable for -
Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin has a team of volunteers who provide a regular friendly telephone call to older people who would appreciate a friendly chat and enjoy conversation and sharing experiences.
We are looking for more Telephone Buddies across all areas of Telford who are happy to make a regular phone call from home and ideally have access to free calls or minutes from a landline or mobile.
Telephone Buddies must be able to offer regular contact, be able to speak clearly and communicate well, provide a confidential listening ear, provide information about other Age UK services and let us know of any other assistance the older person may require. A completed application form and two references are required for this role. A DBS check is not required. Volunteers are supported by an Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Coordinator.
