As a rainbow call companion, you will be someone who identifies as LGBT+ who wants to support lonely older LGBT+ people. You will be the main point of contact for the rainbow call companions and older people in your group. Our rainbow call companion co-ordinators are a vital part of the Re-engage team, ensuring that their group of rainbow call companions have all the support and information they need to make regular friendship calls to older people.
This is a challenging and rewarding role which might be a bit busy to begin with but will take up less of your time once your group is fully up and running. You’ll be checking in with your group members once a month and you’ll conduct a short wellbeing questionnaire with the older people in the group every six months.
You will need one reference and to complete an ID check for this role.
Tasks include:
Re-engage is the only UK charity dedicated to tackling loneliness in people over 75. Our vision is a world where no one is ever too old to make friends and enjoy social interaction. Our mission is to work within communities to end social isolation and loneliness in older people.
