REENGAGE Older person tea party organiser

This is a flexible volunteer role supporting a tea party group for older people. The organiser welcomes new volunteers into the group so they can start confidently, and also helps new older guests feel comfortable before their first tea party.

You will also help arrange the annual tea party schedule so hosts know when it is their turn, and so older guests and drivers know where each tea party is taking place.

The role also involves matching older guests with volunteer drivers so the same people can travel together each month, and keeping in regular contact with older guests and volunteers to share any relevant updates from Re-engage. It is a good fit for someone who enjoys planning, organisation and building positive relationships.

Re-engage says the role is fun, flexible and rewarding, and it comes with training, support and regular communication from the team. It is designed for someone with strong administration skills, patience, good listening and conversation skills, and a genuine interest in helping older people who may be experiencing loneliness or social isolation.
