Taster Sessions as part of the
Recruitment & Selection Process
To offer new potential volunteers an opportunity to experience
volunteering in a residential care home, James of Senior Fitness
offers taster sessions at Moorland View.
He takes volunteers around the home where they are supported by
him to engage residents in activities. The activities are interactive
and fun and volunteers meet the residents when they are alert and
happy.
James is an excellent role model on how to interact with older resi-
dents and is friendly and supportive of the volunteers. James has
worked with 13 volunteers to date and is a true asset to this
project.
