Would you like to make a difference in someone else's life, and your own? To reduce loneliness in the community by connecting with an older person through friendship?

A lady in an Aged Care Home in Coburg is looking for someone who she can have a good conversation with in TURKISH. She would enjoy some general company and sharing memories.

This role is flexible and suitable for people who have busy lives (1 hour per week/fortnight, flexible days).

Volunteer visitors are empathetic and curious, they find ways to connect and show a genuine appreciation for the happiness of others. They play a vital role in the life of a person living in their own home or aged care through ongoing friendship. This role offers flexibility and reward for both the volunteer and recipient of visits.

Excellent verbal and non-verbal communication skills are required, including a strong commitment to others through this voluntary role.

MS Plus is funded to provide the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS). MS Plus is a child safe organisation with a Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy”.
