Join Our Volunteer Team
The HammondCare Volunteer program allows you to make a meaningful difference in the life of an older person, right here in The Shire.
From sports to art, pets to gardening, walking to yoga, baking to craft, movies to music, coffee to crosswords... whatever you love, you can share it with someone who loves it too.
Role Description: Volunteer Social Visitor
As a Volunteer Social Visitor, you will provide companionship and meaningful social interaction for older people living in their own home.
We are seeking a friendly volunteer to visit an elderly gentleman at home for a cuppa and a chat. Our client has worked as a wood machinist and considers himself to be a handy man. He enjoys watching the news, woodwork, and reminiscing.
Our client's story and experiences would be a great fit for someone who values building relationships and connecting with others. By volunteering as a social visitor, you can help improve quality of life and reduce feelings of isolation for older people.
HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government, and we're passionate about promoting links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
