Marie Curie Companions At Home

Description


You don’t need a medical background or all the answers – just a kind heart, a listening ear, and a little time to give.

Marie Curie is looking for compassionate, everyday people to join our Companion Team within the surrounding areas of Stockton on Tees.

 

What does a Companion Volunteer do?

It’s simple, really – you’ll be there for someone.

You might visit someone and share stories, connect through hobbies/interests, chat about life, update them regarding local or wider activities. Sometimes just a conversation with a cup of tea/coffee in hand provides a steady presence.

What you’ll be part of:

  • Offering emotional comfort and conversation
  • Help someone express what matters most to them
  • Share helpful information
  • Support family members or carers, before and after bereavement.

You’ll receive full training and ongoing support from the Marie Curie Team, and you’ll be joining a team who care just as much as you do

Please note that Marie Curie will never ask you to do anything you’re not comfortable with

 

You’d be a great fit if you’re:

  • Patient and good at listening
  • Non-judgmental of others and friendly
  • Emotionally mature and steady in sensitive moments
  • Able to commit to 3 hours p/week
  • Comfortable using email and completing short visit reports

In return, you’ll gain:

  • A deep sense of purpose and connection
  • Ongoing support, training and guidance
  • A welcoming volunteer community
  • Recognition and appreciation for the time you give
  • Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses each month
  • A chance to make a lasting difference

 

Want to know more before applying? 

You might want to chat through the role, ask questions, or just get a feel for what it’s really like. Honest information and a warm welcome, with no pressure to apply.

Please contact: Louise Delaney, our Volunteer Services officer: louise.delaney@mariecurie.org.uk

 

Please note: You must be 18 years of age or older to apply and be willing to submit a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Application
