Aged Care Volunteer Visitor - Classical music enthusiast needed!

Community Services Regular - more than 6 months Mooroolbark VIC

About this opportunity

If you are looking for a volunteer role that makes a positive difference to another person, reduces loneliness in our community, brings mutual joy and is flexible - this is a role for you.

We believe that everyone deserves a friend, and Volunteer Visitors play a vital role in reducing loneliness and bringing a smile and companionship to older people in our community.

A cheerful lady who is passionate about classical music is seeking a new visitor who also appreciates the depth and breadth of the world of classical music. If you would enjoy connecting with an experienced musician to chat and share general company, you really could make a difference alleviating feelings of loneliness while making a new friend.

MS Plus is funded to provide a volunteer visiting program – the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS). Volunteers share stories, help with a hobby, interest or activity, share a cuppa and a chat, enjoy a walk, listen to music or play a board game. Our volunteers play a vital role in the life of a person living in an aged care home or their own home through ongoing friendship.

You need to be caring, reliable and be willing to commit to fortnightly connections for 6-12 months.

MS Plus believes in a person to person approach and aspire to match you with someone local with shared interests and hobbies. We look forward to hearing from you.
