HammondCare pastoral care volunteers have an opportunity to support the spiritual and emotional needs of elderly residents living in their home. As a pastoral care volunteer you’ll be a Christian actively involved with a local Christian church.

You’ll supplement and complement the work of our HammondCare At Home Pastoral Care Coordinator, and under their direction you may:

• Support people to meet their spiritual needs
• Support people and families in time of crisis
• Nurture spiritual development
• Assist with worship services, use Bible reading resources with residents, and assist in other faith supporting activities.
• Go for a walk together

You’ll find that as a pastoral care volunteer you’ll nurture your own spiritual life.

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help older people feel less isolated. Your visits will bring great joy to the clients you are matched with.

The Community Visitor Scheme (CVS) is a Federal Government initiative established to promote links between elderly people and their local community.

HammondCare is an independent charity, specialising in dementia. We're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need and we have a wonderful group of volunteers that make a difference in the lives of our residents. 

You'll need to be over the age of 18 years, have your own car and be comfortable in spending time in their home.
