Job Introduction

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITY
Digital Friend Volunteer

Are you looking for a meaningful way to connect with others and make a real difference in someone’s life?

Become a Digital Friend Volunteer and help open up the online world for older adults who are homebound or feeling isolated.

Many people aged 60+ are missing out on the opportunities that come with being online, but with your support, we can change that. As a volunteer with Age Well East, you’ll help older clients build essential digital skills: from turning on a laptop and adjusting settings, to browsing the internet, booking appointments, shopping online, and enjoying video calls with family and friends.

You don’t need to be a technical expert. What matters most is your ability to listen, be patient and kind, and enjoy helping others grow in confidence.

What We Provide

  • Full training to help you feel confident in your role

  • A dedicated Friendship Coordinator to support you throughout your volunteering journey

  • All DBS checks arranged and paid for by Age Well East

Requirements

  • Willing to provide two character references

  • Enhanced DBS check (fully covered by Age Well East)

If you’d like to make a positive, lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
