Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia HammondCare Volunteers Full time $15,000 - $20,000 per year
Share Your Time, Share Your Spark

Love the bohemia of the inner city? Enjoy art, creativity, and good conversation? You could brighten someone's week in just one hour.

We're seeking a Volunteer Social Visitor

To spend time with a lovely older woman living in Darlinghurst. She's a lifelong artist – painter, ceramicist, sculptor, and teacher – who has lived and raised her family in the heart of Sydney's creative scene.

These days, she's less mobile and misses the chats, cafes, and creative energy she once enjoyed. She would love visits from someone who shares her love for the arts and life and values meaningful conversation.

You might just chat... or even paint together.

You might be:
An art student, artist, or creative soul
Someone who enjoys companionship and giving back
Young or young at heart, with an hour a week to spare

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 older people feel less isolated. Your visits will bring great joy to the client you are matched with.

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, supporting people to live in their homes and maintain their independence. We're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need and we have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of clients who are living at home.
