Job Description

We're VIVID! - We offer a vibrant, friendly, inclusive culture that supports, develops and attracts the best people!
We're looking for Activity Volunteers (age 18+) to join our teams working with older people across Hampshire. You can volunteer as much or as little as you like and are able to commit to.
As a volunteer, you'll benefit from:

• Enhanced DBS Certificate - subject to status
• VIVID training and development in your role
• Support from the Independent Living and Customer Engagement teams throughout your volunteering journey
• Expenses for travel

As an Activities Volunteer, you'll work with our Independent Living team to support in preparing and delivering activities to our customers living in extra care and sheltered housing schemes, ensuring that customers' wants and needs are at the heart of what we do.
You'll help bring joy, connection, and creativity into people's lives through a wide range of activities, such as:

• Crafts and creative sessions - from card-making to seasonal decorations
• Board games and puzzles - sparking fun and friendly competition
• Reminiscence sessions - sharing stories and memories over tea and biscuits
• Bingo and quizzes - always a favourite!
• Singing and music appreciation - whether it's a singalong or just enjoying the classics
• Tea, coffee and chat - sometimes the best activity is simply good conversation

Previous experience of working with vulnerable people is desirable, as well as a good understanding of the needs of older people in general, but we'll provide all of the training you need. If you're applying to volunteer somewhere further away from home, you will need your own form of transport, but travel expenses will be provided.
Come and be part of something meaningful - help us make every day a little brighter for our customers!
We're a leading provider of affordable homes and extensive support services in the south of England. We believe that everyone has the right to a safe and secure place to call home, and from the moment customers move into their VIVID home we're here to help with that and more.
Our customers have access to a wide range of tailored advice to sustain their tenancies and look after their wellbeing. We invest in our homes and communities for the long-term, and this means in the quality, safety and energy efficiency of existing homes and neighbourhoods, with a firm focus on improving services so they're easy to use and access by our customers.
We're addressing the shortage of affordable housing in the south, building the right type of homes to meet the needs of our local communities. We're the fifth largest developer of new homes amongst housing associations in England, having built over 1,500 last year.
This is summed up in our vision "More homes, bright futures".
