Congratulations to our very own, wonderful Dementia Meeting Centre manager, Kirsty Hughes. Kirsty won the award for Outstanding Mentor of Foundation Degree Students at the Univeristy of Worcester's Mentor Awards 2022.
What an achievement and very well deserved for all the hard work Kirsty does, day in day out at our Dementia Meeting Centres, for clients and student volunteers.
Work with our oustanding mentor, Kirsty
Are you a student and looking to gain workplace experience as part of your degree? Or perhaps you are looking to give back your free time to help older people living with dementia? Consider volunteering for Age UK Worcester & Malvern Hills as part of our dementia services team.
Work alongside Kirsty and help us run our daily Dementia Meeting Centres or help provide friendship/support to an older person. Our Dementia Meeting Centres welcome people living with dementia to enjoy activities and meet others alike. Our dementia support offers a tailored befriending style service.
You do not need any previous experience for this role, although good communication skills, empathy, patience and a caring and polite attitude is needed. Being able to work as an individual and understanding confidentiality is essential.
We will provide you with: relevant induction and training, ongoing support, reimburse reasonable travel costs and invite you to our group events.
