Uniting AgeWell

Hampton Park, VIC

Posted 4/10/2025

If you would like to connect with older people who are socially isolated, we’d love to hear from you!
This volunteer role offers:
- An opportunity to gain experience in the aged care sector
- An opportunity to make a positive impact in your community and in the life of someone else
- Supervision and opportunities for learning and development

Maureen* spent many years working in the hospitality industry and has owned many of her own cafes throughout Melbourne. Maureen has always loved eating out, although since losing her license hasn’t been able to get out as much. Maureen describes herself as quick witted and a bit of joker! Maureen would love to connect with an outgoing volunteer with a good sense of humour to spend time sampling the menus of new restaurants and cafes. If this sounds like your cup of tea, please get in touch.
If you have an interest in supporting people 65+ to reconnect with their interests and community please apply!

We offer opportunities in skill and knowledge development, as well as ongoing support and mentoring. Good communications skills and the ability to work independently are a must. Having a driver’s licence/access to own vehicle is highly desired but not essential. We value diversity in lived experience, language, skills and abilities.

Please note this advert is based on the type of customers we support.
