About Friends for Life Bedfordshire

We are a Bedford-based charity working to address the social isolation of older residents in Bedfordshire’s care homes.

Founded in 2007, we have grown from a small local initiative to a registered charity with c90 volunteers supporting more than 30 care homes across Bedford Borough. In the last year, over 1,100 care home residents received our services.

Schedule group activities and accompany volunteers on first visits
Check in with new volunteers after one month and regularly with longer-standing volunteers
Track activity participation and outcomes, gathering feedback from residents, volunteers and care home staff
Capture stories and case studies (with consent) to showcase the impact

Requirements

Strong interpersonal and relationship‑building skills
Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
Confidence working independently within a small, supportive team
Experience working with volunteers (ideally in a charity, health or social care setting)
An understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries
Good IT skills and a commitment to accurate record‑keeping

This role may particularly suit someone who:

Wants a flexible, meaningful part-time role
Enjoys supporting people and building community
Thrives in a small organisation where they can take initiative

Benefits

What We Offer

£15.45 per hour (£12,051 per year for 15 hours a week)
Employer Pension

A supportive and passionate team of staff, volunteers and trustees
The chance to transform the lives of care home residents every single week
