A new opportunity has been added to MCRVIP by Being There, starts 28 October 2021

Join in this opportunity now.

We are looking for friendly people who are good at listening and can be empathetic with individuals who have a life-limiting illness (such as cancer, stroke, heart conditions, respiratory conditions). You will be visiting clients in their own home and will make a big difference to their wellbeing.

Full training on active listening and communication skills will be given prior to any home support. We will pay for you to have a DBS and you will receive expenses for your travel.

Branch managers will be available for ongoing support and will introduce you to a client who has similar interests. We are looking for individuals who can spare one hour a week or fortnight but we are flexible and can usually work around your commitments.

Being There are a registered charity who provide support to people with cancer and other life limiting illnesses, their carer’s and families. Our support includes befriending, respite sitting, hospital transport, social activities and practical help such as shopping. We also offer a counselling service for our clients.
