Independent Living Service

For people leaving hospital, adjusting to life at home can be a difficult time. Helping someone get their essential shopping, pick up their prescription or get the heating turned on can make all the difference for them to feel safe at home.

This role covers Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire areas. The service operates every day of the week from 10 am to 8pm and we are looking for volunteers who have a minimum of two hours per week. We prefer you to have a driving licence that entitles you to drive in the UK and have access to your own vehicle but this is not essential.

Health and Safety Statement We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment. We will also have a conversation with you to discuss any restrictions that may still be in place in your region and identify any adjustments you may need. If you have any questions before applying, please contact us at healthvolunteer@redcross.org.uk
