Volunteer in our Cafe

Do you know your way around a coffee machine and have a passion for supporting older Australians?

We're looking for volunteers for our residential aged care cafes - creating social connections and welcoming spaces to improve the quality of life of our valued residents.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Serving with a Smile: Prepare and serve coffee, tea, and light refreshments to our residents, staff, and visitors, creating a warm and welcoming environment.
• Creating Connections: Build relationships with our residents, offering a friendly chat while you serve their favourite drinks and snacks.
• Keeping the Café Clean & Cozy: Help maintain the café’s cleanliness and organisation, making sure everything is ready for a relaxing experience.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: Some experience working with coffee machines or in food service environments would be ideal for this role.
• Heart: A genuine passion for supporting seniors and making their day a little brighter.
• People Skills: Friendly, patient, and a great listener - our residents love a chat so be ready to swap a story and spread positivity

Why Volunteer with Us?

• Make a difference: Ask any of our valued volunteers and they will tell you that giving back through volunteering is incredibly rewarding and makes you feel great.
• Flexible Shifts: Cafe Volunteer shifts can be for a little as 2 hours and on days that suit you - whether that’s during the week or on a weekend.
• Wellbeing benefits: Every volunteer has access to our wellbeing program, offering exclusive benefits and discounts on a range of everyday products and services. *conditions apply
