People in care homes should have a voice to communicate their needs wishes and wants. Some people need support with this, but don’t have friends and family available to assist them.  This means they’re entitled to have support from an RPR and volunteer, who are there to make sure they get the care they deserve.  Your role as an RPR Support Volunteer is to collaborate with the VoiceAbility RPR to make sure a person’s views are listened to when decisions are made about their care. 

As an RPR Support Volunteer you might: 

  • Visit people in their care home, to make sure they’re getting the right care and support 
  • Talk with them about their feelings, thoughts and wishes 
  • Raise concerns 
  • Keep detailed notes and records
  • Make a real difference to someone’s life

Skills needed

Good communication
Non-judgemental
Patience

Benefits for the Volunteer
