Information & Advice Community Outreach Volunteers - Age UK East Sussex

We would love for you to join our Information & Advice Service as a Community Outreach Volunteer.

This is a rewarding opportunity to meet new people, support your local community, and help individuals access the information and services they need. As part of our friendly team, you will attend local groups and community activities, offering information, guidance, and signposting to relevant services, support organisations, and community groups. You may also help people complete a range of forms, including Attendance Allowance applications and other benefit-related paperwork, giving them the confidence and support they need to access available help. You'll be a good listener with strong communication skills, a caring and empathetic approach, and a willingness to help others.

Basic IT skills and record-keeping experience are helpful, and experience using the internet and Microsoft 365 would be an advantage.

Don't worry if you're still learning though, as training and support will be provided. We reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred while volunteering.
