The role is flexible to fit in with your needs and commitments, and supporting clients can be carried out remotely and/or face-to-face. Volunteers will receive support from local area Volunteer Coordinators.

A passion to help others
Good IT and computer skills
Knowledge of standard operating systems and software would be useful
The ability to communicate well with people
Patience and empathy
Your own transport or good transport links e.g. bus, if providing face-to-face support
