Mobility Buddy (Vale of Glamorgan)

Deafblind UK support people who have combined sight and hearing loss. We help them to live with their condition and to build their confidence and independence.

Many of our members have lost the confidence to leave the house alone but would love the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore their local areas or to learn new skills to use their local transport network.

We are looking for fit, active volunteers who can help our members get out locally, increase their fitness and give them the confidence they need to get back out and about in their community. People who are patient, friendly and who have conversation skills and a genuine interest in others.

Do you need experience? No ….Simply a genuine desire to help and some spare time on a regular weekly basis. You will need to be physically fit and able to walk distance. We will ensure you are supported throughout your journey with us, offering training and support at all times. We will also reimburse out of pocket expenses to you and pay for your DBS check.

Does this sound like you? Yes …..well walk this way! Its quick and easy to apply, simply click on the ‘Apply’ button and complete the short application form and one of Deafblind UK's friendly recruitment team will be back in touch with you….. it’s a simple as that …. Click apply today to make that first step in changing a life!

We ask for your commitment for a weekly visit for 6 months and will keep in regular contact with you to ensure you are happy in your volunteering role.
