Job Description
Willow Dementia Group Activities Assistant

Make a difference in Hatfield! Volunteer at Dementia Fun Clubs, supporting older adults with activities, lunch, and social interaction.

The Willow Dementia Fun Group is a friendly, inclusive hub for adults with mild to moderate dementia looking for social engagement and cognitive stimulation in Hatfield and the surrounding areas. Our club offers a variety of activities including crafts, games, singing, quizzes, and a hot two-course lunch. We're looking for volunteers who can commit to regular hours, as our clients benefit most from consistent engagement with familiar faces.

Responsibilities include:

  • Preparing the room for activities
  • Greeting clients on arrival
  • Serving teas, coffees, and lunches
  • Supporting games, quizzes, and social activities
  • Cleaning and sanitising areas
  • Engaging with clients throughout the day
  • Debriefing with the Activities Co-ordinator
  • Creating a supportive environment for clients, demonstrating patience, kindness, and understanding

We're seeking volunteers who are:

  • Enthusiastic and motivated
  • Reliable and able to commit to regular sessions
  • Patient and caring, with a non-judgmental outlook
  • Good listeners (experience working with older adults is desirable but not essential)

This is a rewarding opportunity to support people living with dementia, help them stay active and socially connected, and make a real impact in your community.
