We believe everyone has the right to live life to the full following the diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke or Long Covid.
The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.
Join our amazing team of Kindness Callers, who provide a listening ear to people who have had one of our conditions via a weekly telephone call to reduce the feeling of isolation and loneliness.
Experience Required
This is an opportunity to undertake a satisfying and rewarding role. We are looking for people with good listening and communication skills who are reliable, patient and empathetic, respectful of the opinions of others, and able to maintain boundaries.

This is a home-based volunteering role.
