RSVP-West - Lay Assessors for Bristol’s Home Care Service
We are looking for volunteers to train as lay assessors to help monitor the
quality of Bristol’s home care service.
The aim of this service is to talk to the people who have home care
commissioned by Bristol City Council to find out what people think about
their service.
Some people receive a very good service which they value. However, some
are not so happy with their home care and we think it is important that their
voices are heard. These people are amongst the most vulnerable in our
community and this care at home is vital to their ability to remain
independent and to have a quality of life.
The lay assessors’ reports will go back to the council who will then take up
any problems with the companies providing the services.
RSVP recruit volunteers who are over 50 years of age, typically retired or
working part time. We are particularly looking for people who have good
communication skills; are flexible and organised, use e-mail; enjoy team
working, but are able to work on their own initiative, and are not
judgmental. The volunteers will visit people all over Bristol who use the
service. They will receive training and good support whilst they undertake
this rewarding and challenging volunteer role. RSVP pay out of pocket
expenses and their volunteers are covered by public liability insurance.
If you are interested in finding out more or may wish to apply, please
