Jetzt bewerben

Marie Curie is looking for compassionate, everyday people to join our Companion Team within the surrounding areas of Edinburgh and Midlothian

 

You don’t need a medical background or all the answers – just a kind heart, a listening ear, and a little time to give.
 

As a Companion Volunteer, you might visit someone and share stories, connect through hobbies/interests, chat about life, update them regarding local or wider activities. Sometimes just a conversation with a cup of tea/coffee in hand provides a steady presence.

What you'll do:

  • Provide companionship and support
  • Help someone express what matters most
  • Share helpful information and point them to local resources
  • Support families and carers, before and after bereavement

 

Why you'd be a great fit:

  • You are patient, friendly, and a good listener
  • You are non-judgmental and emotionally steady
  • You can provide 3 of your time each week
  • You are comfortable using email and happy to complete short visit reports

 

What you'll gain:

  • A deep sense of purpose and connection
  • Ongoing support, training, and guidance
  • A welcoming volunteer community
  • Recognition for your time and dedication
  • Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses

 

Ready to get involved?
You’ll need to be 18 years or older and provide 2 non-family references in our online application form

Want to chat before applying? We’re happy to answer your questions with no pressure to commit.
