The Team Leader Role is a wonderful opportunity to show your leadership skills, and learn all about our Community Visiting Programs. This role requires availability during business hours, especially on a Wednesday. Meetings will be held every 2 months on Wednesday afternoons 1.30 - 2.30 when face to face is permitted.

You will gradually learn and take on the following:

Assess clients and explain the Friendly Visiting Service. Interview volunteers and complete paperwork which is to be sent to a Social Support Coordinator. Keep all volunteers updated on dates for meetings/socials. Encourage the independence and self-esteem of the team members. Increase volunteer participation in activities and facilitate interaction within the aged care facility or community when appropriate. Attend a team leader conference yearly in October. Find a match among the volunteers and introduce the visitor to his/her new friend/client. Organise and run team meetings to discuss how everyone is doing, and plan social events together.

Volunteers receive training, orientation and ongoing support. To find out more please 'express interest' below and we will phone you.
