None – you need only complete and submit a copy of your successfully obtained Criminal Records Check, and be screened by our online support team for language capability. You are also required to complete a questionnaire about your social interests that clients can use to decide whether they would like to engage with you as a paid Amigo.
We ask that Amigos be 19 years of ago or older.
No. Currently, Amigo sessions are provided only in English, so adequate proficiency in English will be expected and tested in conversation as part of the screening process.
If you are interested in paid work as an online Amigo, you should register using the form above.
Before you fill out the online application, you need to acquire a criminal records check (for working with elderly and at-risk individuals) from our preferred provider Commissionaires.
