Jewish Care
Evening Bridge Club Support
Sandringham is looking for volunteers to assist staff setting up and clearing away refreshments for their new evening bridge club. You will need to set up and clear away coffee & tea refreshments, and take the names on a register.
Those volunteers who can play, may occasionally be asked to fill in if necessary. However, as the tables are booked in a four this would be rare.
What difference you will make
By coordinating a regular Bridge Game and helping with the session, you will enable our clients to continue playing Bridge which they are passionate about. They will also connect with others in the community who have a similar interest, which will alleviate loneliness and isolation and give them the opportunity to feel part of a community.
What additional skills or experience you should have
- Confidently engage with a diverse range of people and enjoy helping others.
- A strong understanding and of issues that affect people in later life.
- Reliability, consistency and dependability.
- Good conversational and listening skills with a clear speaking voice.
- Patience, empathy and a non-judgemental attitude.
- The ability to work independently but also stay within the role’s boundaries – recognising what should and shouldn’t be done and when to seek advice or report concerns.
What training we will provide for you
- Provide you with access to a Volunteer Handbook and all Policies and Procedures.
- Provide Induction Training: Getting to know Jewish Care, Communication & Disability Awareness, Boundaries & Confidentiality, Safeguarding, Health & Safety, GDPR.
- Provide on the job induction.

- Be part of a great team and make new friends.
