We are looking for friendly people who are interested in making a difference in the lives of our community’s seniors by regularly visiting and being a social friend to individuals living in residential aged care on the Redcliffe peninsula. In this particular role, an older married couple would like to chat in Italian over a coffee and share with you their interests of gardening or listening to music.

Wesley Mission Queensland Limited 's Aged Care Volunteer Visitor program aims to brighten the lives of older people living in residential aged care who may be socially isolated or lonely due to a lack of quality time with relatives, for cultural reasons or due to disability.

**Volunteer Visitor hours are available weekdays: **
Monday to Friday: 10am–12pm or 1pm–4pm.

In the role of Aged Care Volunteer Visitor, you will assist in ensuring older people can remain actively engaged and inspired daily. Quality time shared can include chatting, playing cards or board games, working on a hobby together, or discussing the local news. You might take a stroll around the facility (mobility permitting), have a cuppa, or do a crossword together.

Aged Care Volunteer Visitors are not involved in providing clinical or personal care to the people they visit.
