Job Title

Peter is 96 years old and resides in an Aged Care Facility in Kanwal. He would love to have a regular connection with a volunteer who can bring a bit of the world to him. Reminiscing about his past and talking about his life and experiences will offer Peter a valuable connection. He also has an interest in politics especially the Labor Party and its history. We are currently searching for a kind and caring person with some life experience who can commit to regular visits with Peter. Availability to visit weekly or fortnightly for around an hour per visit is required. Visits are purely for social reasons (no running errands, transporting to medical appointments, or personal care duties) and occur on a regular ongoing basis. Time can be spent doing activities you both enjoy - take a trip down memory lane looking at old photos, enjoy time reminiscing and sharing stories. It''s all about connection, companionship and community. Volunteer Visitors require patience and reliability...and above all, a heart for older people. You will be supported in your role by a Volunteer Coordinator. Volunteers undergo a police check (at no charge to you) and complete a short online training program before commencing their volunteering role. Please register your interest today and a Coordinator will be in touch with more information about the next steps. ** Category ** Seniors & Aged Care ** Commitment ** Regular - more than 6 months ** Type Of Work ** Companionship & Social Support,Seniors & Aged Care, ** Time Required ** Flexible hours Regular visits for 1 hour a fortnight (or weekly if preferred) ** Training ** Online induction training.
