Job Description

Spread Joy, by joining our Volunteer Team

The HammondCare Volunteer program is a great way for you to make a meaningful difference to the life of an older person, right here in Hunter NSW.

Calling all 'Green thumbs'

As a HammondCare volunteer in Waratah, you'll engage with people living in aged care, pottering in the garden, tending the plants, planting and growing vegetables and watering the gardens. There's no hard labour involved, just an opportunity to give back and share your love of gardening.

Your impact

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.
