Job description

Marie Curie Companions provide friendly, practical support to people in the comfort of their own homes for up to three hours each week. As a Companion volunteer, you’ll be there to offer a listening ear, lend a helping hand with everyday tasks, or accompany someone on a trip to the shops.

You might also support people to enjoy the things that matter most to them – whether that’s cooking together, playing card games, gardening, or simply spending time talking about how they’re feeling. Every visit is shaped around the individual’s needs, interests and preferences.

Availability: 3 hours per week

Time: Flexible to suit your schedule

Location: Pembrokeshire

Criteria: Minimum 18 years of age

What you’ll do:

  • Spend time each week visiting someone in their home and offering companionship
  • Share a friendly chat, enjoy a cuppa together, or simply sit in peaceful company
  • Listen to cherished memories, swap stories, or talk about everyday life
  • Give carers or family members a short, well-deserved break
  • Be a calm, reassuring presence when it matters most

Why you’d be a great fit:

  • Caring and compassionate nature
  • Patient and a good listener
  • Comfortable with sensitive topics such as death, dying and bereavement
  • Comfortable using email and completing a short visit report
  • Respect for confidentiality, boundaries and inclusive values

What you’ll gain:

  • Flexibility to volunteer around your schedule
  • A deep sense of purpose and connection
  • Full training, ongoing support and wellbeing support
  • A friendly volunteer network
  • Recognition for your time
  • Updates on the difference you’re making
  • Long Service Awards
  • Travel and expenses reimbursed
  • Access to discounts on shopping, dining, travel and more
