Life is in the moments. At Whiddon, we believe every moment counts—especially the ones spent helping someone feel closer to home, connecting through shared language, culture, and meaningful conversation.

Just an hour a week—or as much as you like—is all it takes to create these moments with others. We’re looking for passionate Mandarin-speaking volunteers to join our team at Easton Park, in Glenfield, and make a real impact in the lives of those we serve.

What You’ll Do

• 📚 Share warm, engaging conversations in Mandarin
• 📖 Read together, play games, or listen to music from your culture
• 💬 Help residents reminisce and reconnect with their heritage

What’s in it for you?

• Be part of a supportive, like-minded community
• Create great moments and memories for others—and yourself
• Enjoy the satisfaction of making a real difference
• Access training and development opportunities
• Receive recognition through our Everyday Heroes Program, milestone awards, and other volunteer appreciation initiatives
• Enjoy exclusive Whiddon perks, including discounts and special offers
• Access confidential support through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Take advantage of our Refer-a-Friend program—bring a mate along!
• No special skills needed—just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved! If you’re ready to make a difference and be part of something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.

Ad Hoc Projects and Volunteer Initiatives

We’re always open to new ideas! If this role isn’t the perfect fit for you, but you have a skill, project idea, or something else you’d like to bring to the table, we’d love to hear from you! Whether it’s launching a new activity, helping with short-term projects, or simply sharing your expertise, your unique abilities can make a real difference.
