About this opportunity
Are You the Perfect Fit?
Baptcare volunteers share a passion and commitment to supporting people in need. They come from all walks of life, ages & backgrounds and include retirees, students, part-time workers, stay-at-home parents, and skilled professionals.
Our Volunteers spend time in our Aged Care facilities and participate in activities with our residents or provide one on one companionship. You may find yourself playing Monopoly, spending some time in the garden, playing bingo, doing crosswords, playing Pictionary, entertaining them with your musical talents and having the time of your life.
We love our Volunteers, and our residents look forward to their visits.
