Full training and ongoing support are provided, making this a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone's life while gaining experience in the aged care and community sector.
Benefits of this role include:
- An opportunity to gain experience in the aged care sector
- Supervision and opportunities for learning and development
- The chance to be part of a supportive volunteer community
- Making a real difference in someone's life
