Tea party group coordinators are a vital part of the Re-engage team.
Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for their older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated.
As a tea party group coordinator, you will ensure older guests know when and where the next tea party will be held and who will be collecting them each month. This is an administrative role that requires planning and scheduling, you must be comfortable organising monthly events with volunteer hosts, socialising, communicating with people and resolving issues that might arise.
You will need a DBS (England and Wales) or PVG (Scotland) for this role. Sometimes, tea party group coordinators are also drivers or hosts for their group, but this is not a requirement of being a coordinator.
