The role: The Aged Care Volunteer Visiting Scheme (ACVVS), funded by the Australian Government, connects volunteers with an older person who is feeling lonely and/or socially isolated, to build friendships and reduce feelings of loneliness. In your volunteer role you will be paired with an aging senior to provide them regular social support visits in their home, or aged care facility. Activities during your visit are based on yours and your clients interests and could include conversation, playing board games, listening to music or sharing stories. Get to know someone new and make a difference in your local community!

For you:

  • Make a real impact in the life of an older person including their sense of self-worth and belonging.
  • Meet new people and grow your connection to your community.
  • Receive ongoing support and training throughout your journey, including a fully funded Working With Vulnerable People's Check.
  • Be welcomed into genU’s friendly and inclusive workplace.

About you:

  • Have excellent conversation and listening skills.
  • Hold empathy and compassion about the wellbeing of an older person.
  • Have the ability to work independently.

Time Commitment:
