About this role
Share Stories, Smiles & Special Moments – Aged Care Visitor (Waratah)
Could you spare an hour each week or fortnight to brighten someone's day?
We're looking for a friendly and caring volunteer to spend time with a lovely older lady living in our Aged Care Home in Waratah. Your visits could include sharing a cuppa and a chat, reminiscing over family photo albums, listening to treasured stories, swapping a few jokes, or enjoying a gentle wheelchair stroll through the gardens.
She also loves having her nails painted and appreciates the simple joy of good company.
- Build a meaningful friendship
- Bring joy and companionship to someone's week
- Share stories, laughter, and special moments
- Enjoy the simple pleasures that make life brighter
A little of your time could make a big difference. If you enjoy connecting with others and creating meaningful moments, we'd love to hear from you.
Volunteer today and help turn ordinary days into something special.
