Share your life experiences and create new memories!
Our Knowles Court Aged Care Community located at Sinnamon Park is seeking volunteers to assist with the resident lifestyle program on weekdays between 9am and 3pm. The program includes a range of fun group activities for residents including:
- Concerts - Wednesday
- Gardening - Every Day
- Board Games/Jigsaws - Group or individually
- Pamper Parlour - Fingernail Care/Hand Massage

Involvement in group activities or individual visits to residents can be organised. You can also utilise your own skills to facilitate an activity. These activities assist residents with improving fitness levels, promoting a sense of wellbeing and encouraging community connectedness. Most importantly they bring joy and create smiles!
The Lifestyle Assistant can assist residents by:
· Escorting residents to and from the morning lifestyle program and assisting as required during the activity program.
· Visiting residents individually.
· Encouraging independence, friendship and fun.
· Being spontaneous and sharing life experiences.
· Providing companionship and a sense of belonging.
· Communicating resident feedback to staff to enhance resident enjoyment.
This volunteering role is suitable for people who have well developed interpersonal skills, excellent communication skills and display a calm and empathetic manner. Volunteering is a wonderful way to make a difference in the lives of our senior residents while making friends, having fun and learning new skills.
Volunteering hours at Knowles Court are weekdays (Monday to Friday). Morning and afternoon shifts are available between the hours of 9am and 4pm. Other volunteering hours including individual visits can also be organised.
