Telephone Wellbeing Caller

What You'll Do: 

Keeping in regular contact with our members to check on their wellbeing is one of our key services. Our Wellbeing Volunteers contact a range of different members every week to make a friendly 'check in' call and have a chat. During these calls, you'll provide the opportunity for our members to talk, offer friendly support and make them aware of the Deafblind UK services available to them. Whatever the conversation you’ll be making a positive difference! This is a home based role so you don't need to be 'local' and you don’t need experience to become one of our Wellbeing Volunteers. The majority of our members communicate with clear speech so no specialised skills or knowledge is required. You just need to be comfortable chatting over the phone 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.

Why You'll Love It: 

This is a great role to develop your communication skills and broaden your understanding of deafblindness. If you love chatting to people and are able to empathise and listen, this is the role for you!

What You'll Learn: 

We provide full training in deafblind awareness, safeguarding for instance, and ongoing support in this role and we ask for a minimum commitment of three months. We require you to have Wifi and access to a PC, tablet or mobile device. This is to allow you to complete training, have access to the Deafblind UK phone system and to submit online contact logs.

What We're Looking For: 

Friendly, empathetic people who are comfortable talking to people of ages and backgrounds.
