Volunteering at Olivet Care

If you enjoy conversation or a short walk, our residents would love to meet you. We are always seeking committed volunteers to provide regular one-on-one visits.

Meaningful connection and community engagement are invaluable to our residents’ wellbeing.

Activity volunteers can be involved in many and varying activities either independently or assisting the Leisure and Lifestyle team. Activities can vary from flower arranging, hairdressing, art, cooking, crafts, carpet bowls, active games, board and card games, and the list goes on.

Volunteering around the facility is highly valued and greatly appreciated. The time and effort contributed by our volunteers play an important role in helping Olivet maintain a welcoming and well-presented environment.

Volunteering opportunities may include tasks such as watering the gardens, cleaning our two on-site buses, washing windows, cleaning outdoor furniture, and assisting with keeping courtyards neat and tidy.

Olivet hosts a wide range of special events throughout the year to bring a spirit of fun and joy to our residents. As a not-for-profit organisation, we also hold fundraising events to raise additional funds that help enhance our programs and resources.

These events require many hands-on deck to assist with set-up, delivery, and clean-up. Our volunteers are essential to the success of these events, and their support is greatly valued.

These Opportunities are for volunteers who belong to a Christadelphian Church.

 Music plays a vital role in enhancing our residents’ physical, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing. We welcome musicians who would like to contribute by performing at events, leading group hymn or praise sessions, or hosting small concerts.

Olivet has a fully equipped on-site café that is highly valued by residents, staff, and visitors. We offer opportunities for volunteers to work alongside our café staff, assisting with tasks such as waiting tables, washing dishes, and general tidying.
