Job Description

Bring Joy to Someone’s Afternoon – Volunteer with Us

Are you free on weekday afternoons? Join the HammondCare Volunteer Team in Wahroonga and make a real difference in the lives of older people.

We’re currently seeking volunteers who are available between 2pm and 4pm on weekdays, for visits of one hour or more, weekly or fortnightly.

As a Volunteer Social Visitor, you’ll provide companionship and meaningful social interaction to residents living in aged care. Whether it’s chatting over a cup of tea, sharing a hobby, enjoying music, or simply spending quiet time together — your presence can brighten someone’s day.

Whatever you enjoy — gardening, art, pets, walking, craft, music, or conversation — there’s someone who would love to share it with you.

If you have time in the afternoon and a heart for helping others, we’d love to welcome you to our volunteer team.

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.

HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.

HammondCare

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of people cared for by HammondCare.
