Social Visitor in Aged Care - Male Volunteers Encouraged to Apply!

Become a Volunteer Visitor and provide friendship and companionship to an older man living in an aged care home on the Central Coast

There's a new friend waiting to meet you right now!

Many men who've made the move to living in aged care can find themselves feeling isolated. Volunteer Visitors provide a regular friendly face for someone who doesn't get a lot of visitors, and would love someone to chat with.

This is your opportunity to meet someone new and brighten their day by swapping stories about family life, work, and hobbies....and make a meaningful connection when it matters most.

No special skills or experience required - just some of your time and a willingness to share a laugh and a chat with someone who would really appreciate it.

Visits are purely for social reasons (no running errands, transporting to medical appointments, or personal care duties) and occur on a regular ongoing basis. Visits are spent doing activities you both enjoy - take a trip down memory lane looking at old photos, enjoy time reminiscing and sharing stories, listen to music, go for a walk in the garden, share a hobby, or play a card game or do a puzzle together.

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 an ACVVS 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 an ACVVS Coordinator will be in touch with more information about the next steps.

Volunteers must be aged 18 years or older and be able to make a minimum commitment of 12 months.
