Job Description
Friendship is the best kind of care.
Be the reason someone smiles this week. We’re looking for a kind and caring volunteer to spend time with a wonderful older lady in Valentine who would love the warmth and friendship of regular visits.
She enjoys doing quizzes, word puzzles, and having a good chat over a cuppa — and would love someone to share these moments with on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Our lovely client is a retired nurse who spent her life caring for others, and now she’d appreciate a caring companion to share stories, laughter, and friendship with. Your visits will bring warmth, connection, and a sense of belonging to her week — and you might find that it brightens your own days, too.
Location: Valentine
Time commitment: 1 hour per week (flexible)
Impact: Deep, personal, and lasting
One hour a week can make a real difference.
If this sounds like you – or someone you know – we’d love to hear from you
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.
