Job Description

Looking for a meaningful way to spend your weekend? The HammondCare Volunteer Program offers a special opportunity to bring joy, connection, and companionship to older people in the Hunter community.

Whether you love sports, art, gardening, pets, baking, yoga, music, movies, or simply a good chat over coffee—you can share your passions with someone who’ll truly appreciate them.

As a Weekend Volunteer Social Visitor, you’ll spend time one-on-one or in small groups with residents in a care home, offering genuine connection and heartfelt moments that brighten their day—and yours.

Give just a little of your weekend, and make a lasting difference in someone’s life.

Please note: Volunteer interviews and orientation must take place on a weekday during business hours.

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

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need.

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.
