As a rainbow call companion, you will be someone who identifies as LGBT+ who wants to support lonely older LGBT+ people. You will be the main point of contact for the rainbow call companions and older people in your group. Our rainbow call companion coordinators are a vital part of the Re-engage team, ensuring that their group of rainbow call companions have all the support and information they need to make regular friendship calls to older people.
This is a challenging and rewarding role which might be a bit busy to begin with but will take up less of your time once your group is fully up and running. You’ll be checking in with your group members once a month, and you’ll conduct a short wellbeing questionnaire with the older people in the group every six months.
You will need one reference and to complete an ID check for this role.
Tasks include:
Setting up the first rainbow call companion calls for your group by getting in touch with the rainbow call companions and older people.
Checking in with the older people in your group once they have had their first rainbow call companion call.
Keeping in regular contact with your team of rainbow call companions and sharing any updates from Re-engage that are relevant to them.
Responding to any issues and queries from the rainbow call companions and older people in your group.
