Do you want to make a difference in your community?
Join our Click Café team as a Digital Champion and help older adults (55+) stay connected in an increasingly digital world. No need to be a tech whiz - if you can use a smartphone, tablet, or laptop for everyday tasks, you’re exactly who we’re looking for. Sometimes, you’ll even be learning alongside the person you’re supporting, figuring things out together!
What’s the role?
As a Digital Champion, you’ll provide 1-on-1 support to people who need help with basic online tasks like sending emails, booking appointments, or ordering prescriptions. Your guidance can help prevent digital exclusion, which often leads to isolation and difficulty accessing essential services.
When and where?
• St. Michael's Day Centre, Bath: Every Wednesday, 10 am - 12 pm.
• Keynsham Library: Starting in January, first Wednesday of the month, 2 pm - 4 pm.
• Hope House Surgery, Radstock: Starting in January, first Tuesday of the month,
10 am - 12 pm.
• 1-on-1 Home Visits: Available in the Bath and North East Somerset areas.
Flexible Commitment Volunteer weekly, monthly, or on an ad-hoc basis. Whatever suits your schedule. We offer full training and support, and you’ll enjoy free tea and biscuits while you volunteer.
