This new role offers the chance to make a real difference for vulnerable older adults and help them build meaningful relationships with others across the community, helping them long term.  Our Doorstep Help model developed as a response to the pandemic – as was, it was a really effective way of working that helped us help a lot of older adults meet urgent needs.  The needs of older adults locally look different but they are still urgent.  This role will meet isolated older adults ‘where they are’, and bring our own and resources from across the community to bear on making their lives better.  Alongside direct, individual work, the project coordinator will work with volunteers to create an ongoing network of support around older adults to keep them involved and integrated with the community.
