Detailed description
If you are a caring and outgoing person, we need you! Friendship House is a welcoming, inclusive community hub for older and disabled adults living in Hatfield and the surrounding areas. We run a range of activities every day, such as crafts, games, singing, quizzes, and we offer a hot two-course lunch as well. We are looking for more volunteers to help us with the smooth running of the activities in the hubs.
Responsibilities:
1. Prepare the room in the morning for any of the day's activities
2. Greet clients upon arrival

5. Clean and sanitise areas
6. Assist with games and quizzes throughout the day
7. De-brief with the Activities Co-ordinator at the beginning and end of the day
8. Engage with clients throughout the day
(The debrief at the beginning should consist of the plan for the day, involving any client concerns and/or issues to be mindful of. The debrief at the end of the day should involve you handing over any relevant information before leaving – This should be done in the office, as confidential client information may be discussed)
We are particularly looking for volunteers who have the following attributes:
* Enthusiasm
* Motivation
* A desire to learn
* Experience working with elderly people (desirable not essential)
* Active listening skills
