German Speaking Volunteer - Social Visits for a Gentleman in Aged Care - KANWAL

We are seeking a German speaking volunteer to visit an elderly Swiss German gentleman for social support and connection. He enjoys one on one interaction, gardening and going for a walk.

As part of the federally funded Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme; compassionate, caring and friendly volunteers are needed to visit and provide social support with elderly residents

It is purely about social interaction, connection and conversation so as to provide some joy and pleasure in the life of these residents. A commitment of at least 1 visit a fortnight 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 a fortnightly visit can be met. 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.
