Volunteer Telephone Befriender
Carers Support (Bristol & South Gloucestershire)
Telephone Befrienders supporting unpaid carers in Bristol and South Glos, aged 55 and over.
We are looking for volunteers who can offer their time for one or two hours per week, over one or two phone calls. Each carer is offered up to 6 weeks of support. If you can support more than one carer that would be great. You will need to demonstrate sensitivity in communicating with people who care for someone who is unwell, be empathic and understanding and be able to manage boundaries. If you are reliable, have experience or an awareness of the issues that carers face, and have good listening and communication skills, we would love to hear from you.
