About the role Our residential aged care facility in North Essendon is currently seeking volunteers to visit our lovely residents. Volunteers will be matched with an elderly person based on interests and will visit weekly or fortnightly for the purpose of companionship and friendship. About you

• You will have good interpersonal and communication skills
• You will be patient, friendly and outgoing
• Following instructions and working in a cooperative way will be paramount in this role
• A desire to have fun will go a long way!
• A weekly or fortnightly commitment would be ideal

Training Requirements Churches of Christ in Qld encourages all volunteers to complete training that is appropriate for their role. We do this to keep you and the people you will be supporting safe and healthy. Training occurs in a variety of ways and we will work with you to provide access and support. When you accept a volunteer role, you will be asked to sign a Position Description that will clearly define the training requirements. Have no fear, we make training as easy and accessible as possible!

Personal History Screening All volunteers supporting vulnerable people require a current criminal history check. In Residential Aged Care and Community Care there are strict legislative requirements governing this. What if I don't have a Police Check? Don't worry - we can apply for one and cover the cost for you. As soon as you have passed the check, you will be able to volunteer.
