Could you be one of our new Telephone Buddies?

We are seeking people who have some time to offer on a weekly or fortnightly basis to make a regular call to one of our service users. The pandemic has created a backlog of service users waiting for an in person befriending match. To keep in touch with these service users we are creating this Telephone Buddy service.

Telephone Buddies will be matched with a service user who they will make regular calls to once a week or fortnight for 30 minutes or so, at a time that’s convenient for both of you. It’s a social role offering open conversation and a listening ear.

Whilst we ask for up to 6 months commitment the telephone buddying role is intended to be light-touch and flexible to suit your schedule. For more information, please check out the role description here and to apply click here.
