The Ageing Well Officer (Befriending) plays a warm and supportive role in helping older people feel connected, listened to and supported through Age UK Bolton’s befriending services.
Working alongside the Ageing Well Coordinator, the postholder supports the smooth running of day‑to‑day administrative and service tasks — from volunteer recruitment and matching through to regular check‑ins and programme endings. Although largely office‑based, the role has a meaningful impact on both volunteers and older people by helping to maintain safe, positive and relationship‑led connections.
Through care, organisation and clear communication, the Ageing Well Officer helps contribute to a well‑run, welcoming service that supports older people to build confidence, reduce loneliness and feel part of their community.
