Become a Volunteer Hero

Location: Fully Remote (at home via Zoom)

Commitment: 1 hour per week for 9 weeks

Current Roles: Club Host / Club Co-Host

 

We are recruiting a dedicated pool of Volunteer Club Champions to partner with our session staff. 

Rather than just doing basic text-chat monitoring, you and a staff partner will co-host the session, share the microphone, welcome members from the virtual waiting room, and support our sessional health experts on Saturdays.

Why We Need You

Across Dudley, hundreds of seniors are completely homebound or bedbound due to severe physical disabilities. Prolonged isolation dramatically accelerates mental and physical health declines. Our mission is to restore community, health education, and joy directly to their bedsides through accessible online clubs. 

Our Commitment to Volunteer Well-Being

We value your time and wellbeing. To ensure you stay refreshed, we operate on a Seasonal Rotation Model:

  • Short-Term Commitments: You only commit to a single 9-week season (3 months) at a time.
  • Week 4 of every single month is free. There are no clubs. This gives our Volunteers a built-in week off to rest and recharge.
  • Full Support: We cover the full cost of your DBS check, provide online digital training, and offer a one time honorarium toward your home broadband. This ensures no one is restricted from volunteering due to connectivity or provider limitations.

 

What You Need to apply

A computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection, and an empathetic patient approach to supporting seniors with varying communication and physical needs.  

Volunteer Thank you's.

❤️ We value our Host Champions and Club Volunteers, and to show our appreciation; 

- We provide a BCEO T-shirt upon completion of training and a successful DBS check.

- A £40.00 honorarium as reimbursement for internet provider fees; to ensure anyone who wants to volunteer will not be restricted due to limited broadband access.

- Silverberry Awards & Acknowledgemt Certificates for support above and beyond, or after the completion of three seasonal blocks.
