Community Responder Volunteer
Can you help make a difference to older people?

The Community Responder Volunteer Service provides company, reassurance and low level support to an older person in their own home, when a delay is anticipated for Primary or Secondary care support. It can be a worrying time when older people are waiting for further support at home, our volunteers are that much needed “friendly face” for up to two hours.

•  A confident, caring person with empathy for older people
•  Able to stay calm and offer reassurance
•  Living within Northamptonshire
•  Willing to complete a DBS check and be willing to
  undertake relevant training.

Your visit could include:

•  Providing reassurance
•  Packing an overnight bag
•  Making somebody comfortable after a fall
•  Contacting a family member or friend
•  Collecting a prescription
•  Completing a welfare check
•  Delivering mobility equipment.
