VCS Cymru is currently looking for volunteers to be part of The Attic Project team. The project is a 3 year funded project by the Big Lottery Fund and is a joint partnership between Care & Repair and VCS Cymru. The Attic Volunteer will actively work with older vulnerable people over the age of 60 to help them to organise and sort through their possessions, while providing opportunities to reminisce over the memories that these objects evoke. We are looking for volunteers to record these memories and find suitable ways of storing and showcasing these memories to ensure they are passed down to the family.

1. Working with the Attic Volunteer to interview and record memories evoked through the de-cluttering process
2. editing audio recording
3. transcribing the recorded interview and summarising the contents with focus on historical information
4. Matching audio with visual images and finding the best ways to pass these down to the client
Required Skills:
1) Excellent interpersonal skills – to be able to interact effectively with a wide range of interviewees
2) Clear and concise communication skills, especially good oral communication skills
3) Good listening skills
4) Organised and reliable
5) Willingness to work as part of a team
6) Have an interest with decluttering and working with older people
