VISIT AN OLDER PERSON – FRIENDSHIP STARTS WITH JUST ONE HOUR, A FORTNIGHT

About the Role 

Wesley Volunteer Visitors is a service that brings hope and companionship to those who feel lonely or isolated. Many older people in aged care or living at home can feel isolated or disconnected from their community. As a Volunteer Visitor, you’ll brighten someone’s week simply by spending time with them, sharing stories, enjoying a cuppa, taking a short walk, or offering companionship. Your presence can make an enormous difference.

• Provision of referee checks 

• Willingness to follow Wesley Mission policies, including confidentiality and professional boundaries 

 

What You’ll Do

• Help enhance their sense of belonging and emotional wellbeing 

• Build a genuine, rewarding connection

• Full support and guidance from our friendly team 

No experience needed
