Mobility Buddy for Deaf/Blind People

Could you be a Mobility Buddy to support our members to get out and about in their local communities in The Vale? - no experience required and full training provided.

Deafblind UK support people who have combined sight and hearing loss. We help them to live with their condition and to build their confidence and independence.

Many of our members have lost the confidence to leave the house alone but would love the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore their local areas or learn new skills to use their local transport network.

We are looking for fit, active volunteers aged 18+ who can help our members get out locally, increase their fitness and give them the confidence they need to get back out and about in their community.  People who are patient, friendly and who have conversation skills and a genuine interest in others.

Do you need experience?

No …. Simply a genuine desire to help and some spare time on a regular weekly basis. You will need to be physically fit and able to walk distance. We will provide you with full training and support as part of this exciting new role.

Does this sound like you? Yes….. well walk this way!

Time commitment:  A suggested time commitment is a few hours per week, days and hours are negotiable with the organisation.
Expenses reimbursed: Travel expenses are reimbursed.
Training provided: Full training is provided.
Selection procedure: Informal discussion, application form completion, 2 references and a disclosure and barring check (cost met by organisation).
