What are the responsibilities and job description for the Share a Coffee, a Card Game, and a Conversation - Italian Speaking Role position at HammondCare Volunteers?

Share a Coffee, a Card Game, and a Conversation

An elderly Italian gentleman living in residential aged care in Bayview is looking for a volunteer visitor to spend some quality time with each week.

Originally from Italy, he enjoys the simple pleasures in life and would welcome someone who would like to chat, share stories, and perhaps practise their Italian along the way. While his English is limited, a friendly smile, a game of cards, and a shared interest can say more than words ever could.

He enjoys:

Playing cards
Watching TV together
Following the NRL and discussing the latest games
Having a chat over a cup of tea
Sharing stories about life and family
Going for leisurely walks around the village grounds

Imagine spending an hour or two each week sitting together, watching a game, enjoying a friendly card match, or taking a relaxed walk while sharing conversation. These small moments of connection can make a world of difference to an older person's wellbeing, helping them feel valued, engaged, and connected to the community.

If you enjoy meeting new people, have an interest in Italian culture or language, and would like to make a meaningful difference in someone's life, this could be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you.

A little of your time could become the highlight of his week.

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help older people feel less isolated. Your visits will bring great joy to the client you are matched with.
