Keeping in regular contact with our members to check on their wellbeing is one of our key services.
We aim to ensure that our members are receiving the best support possible from us and one of the ways we do this is by staying in touch with regular wellbeing calls; contacting our members to check in and say hello and see how they are and whether they would benefit from the services that Deafblind UK provide.
How can you help…
We are looking for confident, chatty and friendly individuals who can hold short conversations with our members over the phone. You could be chatting about similar interests or learning about their lives while making that 'check in' call - Whatever the conversation you’ll be making a positive difference.
You don’t need to be local to the member and you don’t need experience to become one of our Wellbeing Callers. The majority of our members communicate with clear speech so no specialised skills or knowledge is required. You just need to be comfortable talking over the phone, engaging, able to instigate conversations and be able to commit to a regular weekly time slot to make calls to our members.
Some knowledge or experience of sight and or hearing loss would be an advantage in this particular role and confidence in speaking with people of all ages and backgrounds. We provide full training and ongoing support as part of your onboarding and the opportunity to join our growing team of amazing volunteers.
