Be Someone for Someone

Our wonderful volunteers are cherished by our residents, families and staff, and we make sure we celebrate all they do. Apart from enriching the lives of our residents, as a CraigCare volunteer you are rewarded in so many other ways such as:

• Helping to maintain the happiness and wellbeing of our residents.
• Developing your skills, gain experience and explore new opportunities.
• Having the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life.
• Making new friends.

What does Volunteering Involve?

Volunteering even a small amount of time makes life that much brighter for both you and the people you’ll get to know. There are several ways you can volunteer:

• Activity Buddy - This could include taking part in our home activities such as our Men’s Shed, walking groups, board games, knitting groups, reading, reminiscence chats, gardening, baking, or playing a musical instrument,
• 1:1 Buddy - This could be as simple as coming in for a regular chat and a cuppa with one of our residents.
• Spiritual Support Buddy - Providing emotional and spiritual support to our residents and their families.
• Weekly outing bus driver – This would involve driving our residents to local community destinations and enjoying the community sites and activities on offer together

Essential Requirements:

• NDIS for volunteers (or willingness to obtain)
• Police Clearance (or willingness to obtain, cost will be covered by CraigCare)
• You are up to date with the  COVID  and influenza vaccinations  
• RAT prior to entry into our home

No previous experience in volunteering is required.
