Do you have a passion for the power of technology?
Our vision is to create...
"A world in which digital services are equally accessible to all"
As an AbilityNet Tech volunteer you can help unleash the power of technology to ensure that older people and disabled people are not excluded from the digital world.
- Contacting clients to arrange a date / time to support (home visits or supporting them remotely)

- Supporting your local Coordinator with promoting the volunteer service in the local area
- Getting together with other tech volunteers at team meetings and wider company events
- Undergoing training on technology, particularly adaptive technology

This opportunity is part of the Volunteer Passport Scheme and is subject to a recruitment process including one day of training with Newcastle City Learning. If you are interested please contact Pam.Robinson@volunteeringmatters.org.uk
