Role description
We are all about Companionship in the Community – we offer a safe space for retired people to make new friends, learn new skills and mix with dogs!
Can you support us by helping in our Community spaces? Are you confident and friendly with good listening skills? Are you dependable and trustworthy? A real team player who can ‘think on your feet’? Do you make a mean cuppa? Are you a dog owner or do you have access to a well behaved companionship dog that could come to work with you?
If yes to the above, and you can work flexibly with us, then we might just have the perfect opportunity for you in our Alloa Community Space!
How much time can you donate?
