MTS assist seafarers to connect with family, mentally and spiritually recharge and to access medical, welfare and chaplaincy services.
MTS Brisbane, located in the Port of Brisbane, is looking for new volunteers to join their warm and friendly team (seriously, they are really lovely) for one or more days per week, Monday to Friday.

- mini-bus driving - taking seafarers to social and other engagements
- admin
- minor maintenance tasks such as gardening
- providing support to the treasurer and accountant with profit and loss statements, foreign exchange and banking.
This role can be shaped to suit the volunteer - you can do some of or all of the above.

- compassionate by nature and are able to get along with people from everywhere (literally!)
- great communicators and who work well within a team
- reasonable computer skills
