Full job description

For people leaving hospital, adjusting to life at home can be a difficult time. Helping someone get their essential shopping, pick up their prescription or get the heating turned on can make all the difference for them to feel safe at home. We would like you to: - Be available to volunteer on a regular basis. - Be available to volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours per week although a full day is preferred. - The role is community based, we are looking for volunteers in the Galashiels, Kelso, Hawick, Eyemouth, Duns and Peebles areas. - The role is to support service users with community re-engagement, shopping, light domestic duties and provide company. - Driving is not essential but is preferred. If a driver, you need to have held a driving licence for at least 2 years which allows you to drive vehicles in the UK. - Be able to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 12 months. *Due to the nature of this role, applicants must undergo a Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) check. Applicants will be asked to provide ID documents in support of the PVG check.* Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone. **Health and Safety Statement** We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and will also have a conversation with you to discuss and identify any adjustments you may need. *Unfortunately, we can’t accept applications from 15 – 17-year-olds for this role. Please get in touch and we can support you to find another role in your area.* If you have any questions before applying, please contact us at [[email protected]](url)
