You don’t need to be a technology whizz to be a Digital Champion with Age UK.
All you need is a love for meeting new people, a willingness to help others and confidence with basic technology use - for example tablets and smartphones.
You will encourage others to become confident with their own device, support staff with awareness sessions/promotion events, support small group sessions and/or one to one support.
These activities and events are designed to support older people to understand the benefits that digital technology can bring. To inform them how digital technology could benefit them personally, the ways in which it could make day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable and inspire participation in the digital skills support sessions and, if relevant, access the Tablet Loan Scheme.
Support can be staff or volunteer-led, delivered in either a 1:1 or group setting, offered remotely (over the telephone or video call), in the client’s home or in a suitable venue.
Support will be learner-led, person-centred, and remain informal and flexible. Each older person is likely to require between 5 – 10 sessions as part of their engagement with digital skills support.
What skills do I need?
You will have an understanding of older people, be calm and patient
An understanding of digital devices, basic IT skills - WhatsApp, Email, etc
