HammondCare is an independent Christian charity specialising in dementia care, palliative care, and rehabilitation, specialist mental health for older people and other health and aged services.

Volunteer opportunities are available across NSW, ACT, SA and Victoria. If you don't see an opportunity in your area, please call or email

HammondCare pastoral care volunteers have the opportunity to support the spiritual and emotional needs of elderly clients living in their home. As a pastoral care volunteer, you'll be actively involved with a local Christian church.

Do you enjoy deep conversations about life, faith, and the world around us?

We're looking for a pastoral care volunteer to visit a thoughtful, spiritually curious man once a fortnight. Although mostly immobile due to health issues, he's sharp, insightful, and values rich discussion. Whether it's about history, geography, politics, or the deeper questions of life, he identifies as Christian and welcomes open, reflective conversations on faith.

Your presence could be the highlight of his fortnight - bringing conversation, connection, and spiritual companionship.

You'll supplement and complement the work of our HammondCare At Home Pastoral Care Coordinator, and under their direction you may:

• Support people to meet their spiritual needs

Skills required for this role:

• High level of interpersonal skills, including strong empathy and listening skills.
• Pastoral Care training for example Chaplaincy, Clinical Pastoral Education, or you could attend HammondCare pastoral care training - Spiritual Care Series, in preparation to becoming a pastoral care volunteer.

Your impact

Volunteering alongside Pastoral Care 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 people feel less isolated.

HammondCare

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of people cared for by HammondCare.
