Aged Care Volunteer who plays/willing to learn Cribbage

As part of the federally funded Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS); compassionate, caring and friendly volunteers are needed to visit and provide social support to an elderly resident who live in an aged care facility in the North Kellyville Area.

It is purely about social interaction, connection and conversation so as to provide some joy and pleasure in the life of this resident. A commitment of at least 1 hour a fortnight - prefer weekly - is needed on an ongoing basis so a rapport and trust can be developed between the volunteer and the resident.

The role is very flexible and no set time or day is needed, as long as the visits are consistent. Individuals who are willing to give a little bit of their time in conversation, who are reliable, patient and compassionate, and have a positive attitude for life are encouraged to apply.
