Social Outings Assistant

Willoughby City Council
Logo for Willoughby City Council

We are looking for enthusiastic & friendly volunteers to assist with regular social outings for elderly clients. Our trips leave the Dougherty Centre in Chatswood at approx. 9am and we visit a variety of exciting destinations including art galleries, museums, lunch spots & special events. This is a great opportunity to really make a difference in the local community, as well as enjoying all Sydney has to offer.

Volunteers will help staff collect items for morning tea, assist clients on & off the bus, help with seatbelts on the bus, and assist with serving refreshments. Crucially, volunteers will chat with clients, and encourage social interaction between all on the trip to ensure that everyone has a great time.

Volunteer must have good communication skills, be friendly, have respect for different cultures, and have empathy with elderly clients and / or people with a disability. A reasonable level of fitness is required as you will be alighting the bus frequently and assisting clients with walkers and bags.

Previous experience of working with elderly clients is not necessary, volunteers just need a willingness to learn!

We are looking for a volunteer who can assist on a Wednesday approximately every 2 months.  Trips run from approximately 9am - 4pm.

You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
