Social Prescribing Volunteer Administrator

Have you got a few hours to spare on a regular basis every week? We are looking for a Volunteer Administrator to support our Social Prescribing team within the local community to help make a huge difference in the lives of older persons. We are looking for someone who can commit to help our team on a long term basis and who lives in the local Lewes area to work from our Lewes office every Monday or Wednesday or even on both of these days?

Social Prescribing connects older people to practical and emotional support by providing a person-centred holistic approach. Social prescribing might include community wellbeing groups, services to resolve socio-economic problems, mindfulness or counselling groups, or other beneficial community services.
As a Volunteer Administrator with the Social Prescribing Team, you'll undertake a variety of day-to-day administrative activities using Microsoft Word and Excel, and also ensure the Social Prescribers have their required printed materials. You'll also be telephoning our Social Prescribing clients to obtain feedback on the services received.
The time commitment required is usually a minimum of three hours per week, but we're also happy to have more flexible times.
