Infoline Assistant
Recruitment now open. Bi-lingual Spanish/English applicants needed.
Voluntary position. Help from anywhere with a stable internet connection via Age in Spain's virtual contact centre.
Help the English speaking community in Spain to access the right information to help them live their life in Spain. Age in Spain is a vital source of information and support services to help people plan for and manage their later life in Spain. As a member of the Infoline team you will respond to telephone and email enquiries covering the practicalities of moving to and living Spain. Supported by an extensive library of information resources, you will provide the time and patience to talk them through the practical steps they need to take when dealing with change, especially in later life, from day to day matters such as residency questions through to accessing local services and support when in crisis or isolated.
This role is a remote opportunity that can be done from anywhere in Spain, or even abroad, provided you have a good internet connection and computer.
Caseworker
Recruitment opening soon.
Help people in later life when they need that extra assistance.
The Casework Service helps older people and their carers to access welfare services and financial benefits to help maximise independence. When we receive a request for help, information alone may not be enough. We ask a Caseworker to visit the client to gather information about their situation so that we can find the services and support that will help resolve their problems.
As a Caseworker you will be the vital link between the client and our Casework Manager who organises the help that can be accessed. This is an intermittent role, so is ideal if you want to volunteer from time to time. You do need to travel, so having your own transport is desirable.

Recruiting now.
Make a positive difference in someone's life through regular telephone calls.
Friendline is a telephone friendship service that connects older people who want to rekindle the joy of chatting to a friend with volunteers willing to give a little bit of their time on a regular basis.
Reaching out and volunteering for Friendline can give an older person something new to look forward to in their week and help them avoid the negative effects of loneliness and isolation. Friendline connects trained volunteers with older people through a weekly 30 minute telephone call.
This role is a remote opportunity that can be done from anywhere in Spain, or even abroad, provided you have a good internet connection and computer or smartphone. We are looking for applicants who are available to have a weekly chat and offer their friendship from a distance.
