Volunteer Home Visiting - GOLD COAST

The Benevolent Society - QLD

Volunteer Home Visiting is a program delivered by the Child, youth and Family Services team with The Benevolent Society.

Volunteer Home Visiting aims to empower families and enhance their social inclusion through building their confidence and connection to their community with the support and companionship of a volunteer. The volunteer is with their family, side by side either in the home or out in the community.

A volunteer is matched with a family in the Volunteer Home Visiting Program to provide support once a week for 2 hours, over a 6 month period.

Visits with the family could be their home environment, supporting them in the community by attending appointments and encouraging social inclusion activities. Volunteers are supported through the program coordinator. Matching is based on volunteers and family interests, availability, experience and the goals that are identified by the family.

Families are located across the Gold Coast, we do our best to match you according to your location, availability and interests.

Volunteers require good verbal and non-verbal communication, understanding of privacy and confidentiality, respect, empathy and able to develop supportive relationship with the family.

What you will get from us:

  • Support and recognition
  • Value and connection
  • Contributing to reducing isolation of families in the community
  • Inclusive and diverse workplace
  • Build on self-confidence and communication skill set.
