Volunteer Opportunity

1Do you want to make a difference to someone in your community?

Do you like spending time with people?

Are you kind, caring, reliable and responsible?

Carers often find their own health and well-being is affected due to the pressure of caring, so having a regular short break can make all the difference.  The South Glos “Breaks for Carers ” Sitting Service is looking for people who can offer 2-3 hours of their time, (normally during the day on a weekday) weekly or fortnightly to spend with a cared-for person so that their carer can take a break.   You ll have comprehensive induction, regular training and support; travel expenses are paid, too.   We also have occasional social events for all our volunteers.   We re looking for men and women to get involved, and age is no barrier – as long as you re over 18.

The Carers Support Centre exists to provide support, information and advice to carers of any age living in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas.

For more information about this role, please contact Marilyn Crump, Sitting Service Coordinator for an informal chat.   We really look forward to hearing from you – thank you.
