Would you like to do something practical to help older people? Do you have a few hours a month to spare? We are looking for caring and compassionate people with excellent communication and administrative skills to assist us with reception duties at our footcare clinics.
Your volunteering responsibilities
• Help prepare the venue before and after clinics.
• Act as first port of call for clients attending the clinic, e.g., direct them where to park, welcome them on arrival, provide drinks and chat while they wait for their appointment, and inform the Foot Care Practitioners
when they have arrived.
• Ensure that clients are informed of fire safety procedures e.g. signing in and out, evacuation procedures.
• Alert the Independence at Home Manager if there are any issues or concerns
Our commitment to you:
We will support you as a volunteer through:
• Providing information about Age UK Devon and a handbook explaining your role and key procedures (e.g., claiming expenses, health and safety procedures)
• Providing ongoing advice and support
• Regular updates via Volunteer e-bulletins
• Positive feedback on your contribution.
• Regular opportunities to express your views around the Age UK Devon volunteering experience.
• Providing adequate resources to perform any tasks effectively.
