St Marks - Lego Legend Volunteer in Aged Care, Chermside

St Marks at Wheller Gardens in Chermside is calling for LEGO Legends to lead hands‑on building sessions that inspire creativity and connection among our residents.

These activities assist residents with socialising, promoting a sense of well-being and encouraging community connectedness. Most importantly they bring joy and create smiles!

Lego Legends can help residents by:

• Setting up a fun, inviting LEGO activity area.
• Showcasing sample builds to spark imagination.
• Offering support to residents as they create.
• Tidying the space afterwards and accompanying residents back to their area of choice.
• Communicating resident feedback to staff to assist in improving both the activity and resident enjoyment.

This role is suitable for people who have well developed interpersonal skills, excellent communication skills and display a calm and empathetic manner when engaging with residents with dementia. Volunteering is a wonderful way to make a difference in the lives of our senior residents while making friends, having fun and learning new skills.

Volunteer hours are available Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm, depending on your availability.

This program is located within the Wheller Gardens Aged Care Community where the residents enjoy a wonderful sense of life, fun, and friendship.

Wheller Gardens is a welcoming and rewarding place to volunteer where you will meet many wonderful people and learn great new skills that may assist you both personally and professionally. There are lots of other benefits to volunteering with us as well, such as:

• Great education opportunities
• Access to online and face-to-face wellness advisors
• Invitations to social events
• Being part of a team that really is making a difference in the lives of seniors in our Aged Care Communities.

All our volunteers follow a COVID-19 safe work plan and provide proof they have received a minimum of one primary COVID-19 vaccination before they are registered in their role.

Volunteers will also be required to have a current NDIS Workers Screening Clearance prior to commencement. This can be applied for through Wesley Mission Queensland at no cost to you.

We look forward to hearing from you!
