Volunteer with JoCare
At JoCare, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
By sharing your time, conversation, and care, you can make a meaningful difference in the
life of someone experiencing loneliness and isolation.
We offer two key volunteer opportunities, each designed to create connection, build
confidence, and strengthen the community.
Volunteer Visitor
Digital Mentor
Our Volunteer Visiting Program connects volunteers with older people who may be feeling lonely or socially isolated.
As a Volunteer Visitor, you’ll be matched one-on-one with a participant and visit them regularly, either in their home or in an aged care setting. These visits might involve a simple chat, sharing a cup of tea, going for a short walk, or enjoying a shared interest.
While the activities may be simple, the impact is profound. For many participants, these visits become the highlight of their week and an important source of connection, companionship, and emotional wellbeing.
What you’ll be doing:
– Visiting weekly or fortnightly
– Building a genuine, ongoing connection
– Offering companionship and conversation
– Bringing warmth and consistency to someone’s week
Our Digital Drop-In Program supports older community members to build confidence using technology.
As a Digital Mentor, you’ll provide one-on-one support to participants who may need help with things like using a smartphone, sending emails, joining video calls, or staying safe online.
Sessions are currently held at:
• Malvern Library (Tuesdays 10am – 11am)
• Phoenix Park Neighbourhood House (Wednesdays 10am – 11am)
This role is about more than technology; it’s about helping people stay connected to family, services, and the world around them.
What you’ll be doing:
– Supporting one-to-one digital help sessions
– Assisting with phones, tablets, and basic online skills
– Helping build confidence and independence
– Creating a friendly and supportive learning environment
Why Volunteer with JoCare?
– Make a real difference in someone’s life
– Build meaningful connections in your community
– Receive training and ongoing support
– Be part of a warm and supportive volunteer team
