Job Description

Armchair Adventures & Great Conversations Weekday Volunteer

Do you love to travel — or simply love sharing stories about the places you've been? A friendly and curious gentleman in our aged care community would truly enjoy your company.

He’s passionate about hearing travel tales from near and far, and loves chatting over a coffee, going for walks, fishing, and watching TV. While he’s no longer exploring the world himself, he lights up when hearing about others’ journeys and adventures.

We’re looking for a weekday volunteer who enjoys meaningful conversation and has a story or two to share. Your time could open up a world of connection, joy, and companionship.

If you’re ready to make someone’s day — and maybe revisit your own travel memories along the way — 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

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 receiving care at Hammondville.
