Helping people get the most out of technology
We are looking for Tech volunteers aged 18+ to help people get the most out of technology across Wales.
You don’t need to be a tech guru to help out. If you use a computer at home or work, and perhaps support family and friends with their tech issues, you are likely to have the skills we need:
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 – for face-to-face support is possible
All across the UK our 300+ volunteers support older and/or disabled people at home to offer one-to-one support with their technology, whether that’s a computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet.
What will I be doing?
Contacting clients to arrange a date/time to support
Carrying out support for the clients you have accepted
Feeding back on progress via our online ticketing system
Supporting your local Coordinator with promoting the volunteer service in the local area.
This is a very time flexible opportunity, there is not minimum or maximum hours. You can manage your own volunteering hours to fit in with your work and other commitments
Time commitment: A suggested weekly time commitment is 4 hours per month, this can be in or out of work hours, in the evenings or weekends. This is a very time flexible opportunity.
Expenses reimbursed: Travel expenses are reimbursed on receipt of ticket, mileage is 45p per mile.
Training provided: Full training is provided.
Selection procedure: Informal discussion, application form completion, 2 references and a disclosure and barring check (cost met by organisation).
