The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of mecwacare.

Our Residential Facilities offer a range of lifestyle programs, giving older people the opportunity to participate in different types of recreational and social activities. The activities are planned with the participants to ensure their needs and interests are met, and are designed to maintain independence and enhance the quality of life for the participants and their carers.

Volunteering with our social support programs will enable you to work alongside our qualified staff who will offer you guidance and mentoring, while fulfilling your desire to support older people to live and age well in the community. Activities may include outings, gentle exercise, entertainers, music, craft, guest speakers, quizzes and discussions.

Due to COVID19 mecwacare is taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our volunteers, staff, clients and residents. At this time we are not taking on new volunteers, however for some volunteer roles we are able to conduct telephone in readiness for when volunteering resume. We appreciate your support during these challenging times.
