This role is ideally suited to a volunteer who would enjoy visiting an intellectual older gent in his beautiful home and connect by listening to classical music, having a stimulating conversation and discussing historical events.

The gent is of Polish background and speaks both English and Polish fluently. If the volunteer is able to take an interest in the Polish culture, or even speak Polish, that would be an added benefit, but is not essential to this position.

In addition the gent also used to belong to a sailing club and loved to sail.

The volunteer will primarily provide an in-home visit once a week or fortnight with a focus on classical music, intellectual conversation and historical events.

St John Ambulance's Community Care Program is a well-respected and trusted volunteer service that has supported older people throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area for 30 years.

Volunteers make a real and heartfelt difference in the lives of older people who have identified that they would benefit from greater social interaction in their life while remaining a valued participant in community and society. Volunteers are carefully matched with the older person they visit to ensure the visit is mutually enjoyable, meaningful and rewarding.

Please note: During Covid-19 restrictions, each client is assessed as safe for home visiting suitability in line with the latest Covid-19 advice from SA Health. St John provides all necessary Covid-19 protection measures for volunteers to practice as an added safeguard and upholds all of its required health and funding obligations.
