Music plays a fundamental role in our identity, culture and heritage and can evoke powerful memories and emotions. Music also plays an important role in the care of older people, it can help seniors and people living with dementia express their feelings, communicate with others, and prompt memories through listening.
You must be friendly, reliable, trustworthy and have good communication skills.
Volunteers should have a natural interest in older people, have patience, a caring and respectful attitude and be happy working as part of a team.
As you will be stepping into the 'Home' of elderly people we take great care in who our volunteers are. All of our volunteers need to complete a Police Check and provide references. All volunteers will receive appropriate training and supervision for their role and will be required to sign a Code of Conduct.
From 30 mins to 1.5 hours weekdays, after 10:30am. This can be as often as you like, daily, weekly, monthly and so on. We have 2 areas with pianos or bring your own instrument.
