About The Role

If you enjoy chatting on the phone and listening to others, then we’d love to hear from you!

Our Companion Call Volunteers help to reduce the loneliness often experienced by people affected by dementia. Through their contact and conversations, people affected by dementia can feel less socially isolated and better connected.

You’ll telephone people living with dementia or their carers, on a regular basis (usually weekly), and chat with them about the things they are interested in and want to talk about. You’ll chat with the same people (ideally at least two) each time and provide brief feedback on your calls via an online form. You’ll not be providing advice or guidance in this role and you don’t need to have knowledge of dementia; it’s all about simply having an easy social conversation with someone.

  • You have basic IT skills and have easy access to the internet
  • You are patient, flexible and able to commit to the schedule of calls agreed
