Digital Inclusion Champion Volunteer – VH

Overview

Role:
Age UK Norfolk’s digital inclusion team offers a lifeline to many older people in Norfolk who feel isolated and disconnected due to lack of technical ability. As a result of Covid-19 we have seen many organisations and individuals use more online services than ever before. They have found many older people are being left behind by these changes, making them more isolated.

In order to help older people Age UK Norfolk have set up Let’s Get Digital. They are asking you to teach an older person how to use a tablet/iPad, either their own or one that can be loaned to them over a period of time.

The content you teach will vary depending on the person’s needs. Some may only want to learn the basics, for example setting up Whatsapp and answering video calls from family and friends. Others may need more advanced support, for example online shopping. Throughout this time you will be supported by the digital inclusion team, so if you have any questions or need any support you can contact them.

The main purpose is to make a weekly phone call to an older person (or persons) in Norfolk to teach them how to use a tablet/iPad.

Flexible hours.

Age UK Norfolk is an independent, local charity. They have 75 years’ experience of supporting older people and their families living in Norfolk. They raise their own funds and fundraise locally to provide vital services across the county.

Their relationship with other Age UK charities allows them to share knowledge and expertise, and to actively promote the wellbeing of older people through collective national and local campaigning.

They are proud to be making Norfolk a great place to grow older.
