AbilityNet is a pioneering UK charity with a global perspective.
We believe the power of digital technology should be available to everyone, regardless of ability or age.
Our free online resources and a network of over 300 community-based volunteers help individuals with any disability, of any age, to use all kinds of digital technology.
Skills
You don’t need to be a tech guru to help out. If you use a computer at home or work, and perhaps support family and friends with their tech issues, you are likely to have the skills we are looking for:
- A passion to help others.
- Good IT and computer skills.
- Knowledge of standard operating systems and software would be useful
- The ability to communicate well with people.
- Patience and empathy.
- Your own transport or good transport links e.g. bus, if providing face-to-face support.
