Community Visitor Scheme Volunteer

2 weeks ago

Randwick, Australia Volunteering Redcross Full time

The program

Red Cross supports elderly members of the community to be more independent, to improve their wellbeing and social connection, and to remain living in their local community.

We do this by matching volunteers with an older person who lives in aged care or at home and experiences social isolation.


The opportunity

This role suits someone over the age of 18 who is a good listener and can commit to at least one hour a week for a social visit to an elderly person.

What you do on your visit is up to you and who you are visiting:
you might chat together, reminisce, listen to music, read the newspaper or play card games.

Visits away from the aged care facility are welcome if the resident and volunteer are both happy to do so.

Visits away from the aged care facility are welcome if the resident and volunteer are both happy to do so.

The program allows for time off due to holidays and study requirements.

The impact
As a Community Visitor, you'll brighten the life of someone suffering vulnerability by offering them company and friendship.

Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the World's largest humanitarian network.
