Visiting an older person at home once a week for a cup of tea and a chat.
• Visiting people once a week for a cup of tea and a chat • We are looking for people who can make a regular commitment. Ideally all year round, not just term-time or school holidays. It is fine to miss a few weeks due to your own holidays or other commitments but the aim is to provide someone with a friend who is there most of the time. • It can be flexible but many older people prefer to have visits during daylight hours so you must be available during the day. We do not do evening visits. • You will receive support from our office who will be available at the end of the phone if there are any issues you wish to raise during office hours during the week. • Ideally you need to be able to drive and have access to a car as many people live in surrounding villages or countryside. However this may be negotiable. Travel expenses can be reimbursed (we have a mileage rate). Could be based in Tonbridge or Sevenoaks. • For further information contact Julia at our Tonbridge office on 01732 366100.
