Officer VIC 3809
For Purpose Aged Care understands the significant value of volunteers and the great benefit they bring to our residents. We welcome the application of any person (regardless of age, background or gender) to complement the wonderful care and attention we offer.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering in aged care can be an extremely rewarding and valuable experience. While many residents might otherwise miss out on contact with people within the local community, volunteers provide this important link offering both companionship and casual, friendly communication. Volunteers get to share in first-hand personal stories and experiences from our resident’s past while adding a new brightness to their present.
Who should volunteer?
Anyone. You don’t need experience or any special skill, simply a willingness to join in activities and an interest in having a chat.
What Would I Be Doing?
The most fundamental role of a volunteer is to provide companionship, so a priority is placed upon listening and talking to our residents. As well as this, there is a host of other activities you could be involved in such as arts, gardening, joining the residents for a bus outing, reading, games, and so on. If you have a special skill or good ideas, mention them to the lifestyle team to see if it might be a good addition!
