Volunteer Opportunity: Gardening Assistant

Do you enjoy gardening and spending time outdoors? Would you like to make a positive difference in the lives of older people?

St Andrew's Village Ballina is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to assist with gardening and maintaining our outdoor spaces. By helping care for garden beds, watering plants, weeding, pruning, and assisting with light gardening tasks, you can help create a beautiful and welcoming environment for all to enjoy.

This rewarding role is perfect for someone who loves gardening, enjoys being active outdoors, and takes pride in creating pleasant outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed by all. Gardens provide residents with enjoyment, relaxation, and opportunities to connect with nature, and your support can help ensure these spaces remain vibrant and well cared for.

This volunteer role may be suitable for people looking to meet Centrelink mutual obligation requirements through approved parttime volunteer work. Volunteering with St Andrew's Retirement Villages provides a rewarding opportunity to gain experience, develop valuable skills, and make a positive contribution to the lives of older residents. If you are interested in knowing more about the mutual obligation program and how this could benefit you, contact us or discuss your circumstances with us and your employment services provider.

A little time in the garden can make a big difference.
