Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme – French-Speaking Craft Companion

Make a Meaningful Difference Are you a warm, friendly person who enjoys connecting with others? We are looking for volunteers to bring friendship and joy to older adults living in in their own homes.

We currently have a lovely lady originally from France living in South Brisbane who has a wonderful creative side and enjoys a variety of arts and crafts, including beading and jewellery making, crochet, knitting, painting, drawing, colouring, sewing and textile crafts. She particularly enjoys trying new hands-on creative activities.

This would be a lovely opportunity for a female volunteer aged 50+, preferably someone who speaks French, although an English-speaking volunteer would also be welcome. A shared interest in arts and crafts would be wonderful, with the opportunity to spend time together, be creative, chat and build a meaningful friendship.

Many older persons have wonderful life stories and unique experiences to share. They would truly value the company of a caring volunteer who is ready to listen. Whether it’s sharing a conversation, enjoying a board game, reading together, taking a walk around the garden, or simply sharing a cup of tea, your presence can make a profound impact on someone’s day.

Why Join Us? This role is part of Wesley Mission Queensland’s Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme (ACVVS), a program dedicated to reducing social isolation among older Australians. By becoming a volunteer, you help build genuine friendships that enrich the lives of both the resident and yourself.

If you enjoy meeting new people and want to make a lasting difference in your community, we would love to hear from you.
