Train Volunteer Technician

Since the Pandemic, audiology services no longer operate drop‑in clinics, meaning vulnerable members of our community may have to wait weeks for support. Our volunteers visit people in their homes and provide support within a few days, offering hearing‑aid maintenance, troubleshooting, and equipment recommendations. They work closely with the service manager to identify further needs.

As an essential role, you will be expected to make at least one visit every six weeks, lasting approximately one hour. A comprehensive training course will equip you with a technical mind and a willingness to help others. All appropriate expenses will be paid and you will receive full‑time support from the service manager.
