Are you looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity to assist members of the community who are at risk of getting lost or going missing? Land Search and Rescue are seeking empathetic and well-organised volunteers to help issue WanderSearch devices in the Taranaki region. About WanderSearch: WanderSearch devices help individuals who are at risk of getting lost or going missing due to dementia, neurodivergence or disabilities. These devices are small, radio frequency-emitting devices worn by people who are at risk of going missing. If the person wearing the device goes missing, trained Land Search and Rescue Volunteers and the Police can listen for its signal, aiding in the location of the individual. Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the WanderSearch programme. Regional volunteers will be assigned tasks in an agreed geographical area. Volunteers will be rostered according to availability and demand. All roles are within day and early evening hours; no overnight requirements. Full training provided. The intention is to share roles between different people to allow for cover.
