Make a Real Difference with a Simple Walk – Walking companion, North Turramurra

Do you have an hour to spare each week and enjoy being outdoors? 

We are looking for a caring and reliable volunteer to accompany one of our residents on walks in her wheelchair around the local area.

For this resident, spending time outside is one of life's greatest pleasures. Being outside in the fresh air and sunshine brings her enormous joy and make a significant difference to her wellbeing.

Following a stroke, her communication has become more limited, but she still enjoys company and connection. A friendly smile, shared observations, and simply being present can help build a meaningful relationship.

No experience is necessary. Full training, support, and orientation will be provided.

What you'll do:

• Take a resident for regular wheelchair walks in the local community
  

• Provide companionship and social connection
  

• Help bring enjoyment, stimulation, and a sense of freedom to her day
  

• Make a genuine difference
  

What we're looking for:

• A friendly and compassionate person
  

• Someone comfortable engaging with older people
  

• Reliability and a positive attitude
  

HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
