About this role
That's Amore... and Friendship Too!
Make a difference close to home! Volunteer opportunities available in Condell Park, Smithfield, Mount Pritchard and Casula.
Do you speak Italian and enjoy connecting with others through conversation and companionship? We are seeking caring and friendly Italian-speaking Social Volunteers to provide weekly one-hour visits with older people in our community.
For many residents, speaking in their first language brings comfort, connection, and a sense of belonging. By sharing stories, laughter, memories, and everyday conversation in Italian, you can help reduce social isolation and make a meaningful difference in someone's life.
No special experience is required, just a warm personality, a listening ear, and a willingness to spend an hour building a genuine friendship.
As a Social Volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to share culture, language, and companionship while creating rewarding connections that enrich both your life and theirs.
If your heart speaks Italian and you'd love to brighten someone's week through the power of conversation, apply today. A simple chat could become the highlight of someone's week and the start of a wonderful friendship!
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.
