RNID Community Volunteer
Could you be a Community volunteer with RNID ? Help us share important information to people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus, or support someone.
What you’ll be doing
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 to help us make life fully inclusive for deaf people and people with hearing aids and tinnitus.
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.
