To volunteer in this role you will need to be a empathetic and caring person who wants to improve the life of someone who is isolated or alone. You will need to be a good listener and an overall an excellent communicator.

All volunteer travel expenses are covered for this role. We also provide full training and ongoing support for our volunteers so they are totally equipped and comfortable for the role. Our volunteers also receive a volunteer newsletter; invites to Marie Curie events; and access to online presentations each week. This is also a great step back into work or to add onto your CV. Most importantly, it is an amazing way to give back to your local community!

Between 1 to 3 hours a week, with a commitment of up to 12 months. However, this is a flexible role and times can be altered depending on availability and client's needs.
