Loneliness is a major issue that is now widely recognised in society today, particularly amongst older people.
As a Healthcare Assistant, you will provide tailored compassionate care primarily in the homes of individuals, supporting them to live independently and with dignity within their communities.
At Leaf Complex Care, part of the Catalyst Care Group, we are committed to providing expert complex care that transforms lives.
Our settings vary widely from individual homes requiring round-the-clock support to sleep-ins, day and night shifts, and potential settings such as residential homes, hospital environments, and temporary residences.
Age UK's Telephone Friendship Service is recruiting for Assessment Coordinators to join our dedicated team!
Our service makes a huge difference to the lives of older people who are lonely and isolated - giving them a chance to make a new friend from the comfort of their home.
We crucially support thousands of matches between older people and trained volunteers, who together enjoy a regular weekly telephone chat.
As a Customer Adviser, you will be playing an important role in this vital service; providing information and advice for older people in need, and signposting them, their families, carers and other professionals to relevant bodies that can help with their specific requirements.
We are still in a cost-of-living crisis and the proposed changes to the winter fuel payment criteria mean that many older people in the UK are in desperate need of advice and support.
We have a fantastic opportunity here at Age UK to join our National Advice Line as a Customer Adviser.
