As part of the federally funded Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme; compassionate, caring and friendly volunteers are needed to visit and provide social support with elderly residents in an aged care facility in the Manly Vale area.

It is purely about social interaction, connection and conversation so as to provide some joy and pleasure in the life of these residents. A commitment of at least 1 hour a fortnight is needed on an ongoing basis so a rapport and trust can be developed between the volunteer and the resident.

The role is flexible and is planned to suit your convenience. Individuals who are willing to give a little bit of their time in conversation, who are reliable, patient and compassionate, and have a positive attitude for life are encouraged to apply. If you speak German, Tibetan or Serbian, we would love to hear from you.
