RNID Community Volunteer

RNID Community Volunteer

Community volunteers help us share important information about hearing loss or tinnitus, provide communication tip and signpost people to support 

What skills do I need?

Here’s what you will be doing, the requirements we ask for and what we will get out of it.

Our community volunteers usually:

• volunteer at multiple locations

• don’t have a fixed time commitment

• help us on an ad-hoc, flexible basis

You will be carrying out two main activities

Main activities

1. Presenting and giving information

You will be giving presentations and talks to share information with groups and organisations. These might be in-person in the local community or held remotely online.

Through these presentations we aim to:

• Raise awareness of deafness, hearing loss and tinnitus and the services and support available

• Give information on RNID, our activities, and how people can support us

2. Helping people check their hearing

You will be visiting groups in their communities to help people take the RNID online hearing check, taking people through the steps in person using a laptop or tablet provided by the group.

Supporting someone to take the online hearing check usually takes 10-15 minutes and will suggest if the person’s hearing is in normal range of if they may have hearing loss.

When do I need to be available?
