Many aged care residents speak languages other

than English and are in need of a community visitor who are bilingual or multilingual. Many elders in age care facilities and in their own homes are experiencing reduced social contact from their community.

• If you can speak Maltese we can match you to a lovely lady who is culturally isolated. The following skills are highly desirable in a volunteer visitor:

• A genuine empathy and understanding of older people
• Good communication and listening skills
• The ability to work independently
• A commitment to developing a strong relationship with an older person and the CVS program
• Willingness to act with integrity, respect, confidentiality and dignity and the ability to be flexible
