Community Companion Volunteer
You will be redirected to the Adur Voluntary Action website to express your interest.
Community Companions provide support to St Barnabas patients who may feel isolated or find some tasks more difficult to complete on their own. Support could include a cup of tea and chat, going out for a coffee or helping someone with their shopping. Companions can also provide company for a patient so a carer can take a break for a couple of hours.
You'll be required to make a weekly commitment on weekdays. Usually 2 hours a week plus regular support meetings
What skills do I need?
A willingness to learn (some of the required skills you will already have and some may require training which we will provide).
Excellent communication and listening skills.
