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
contact:
Ken Dolbear on [email protected]
