CAN YOU BRING A SMILE? Become a Social Support Companion and help someone's week sparkle
Overview
CAN YOU BRING A SMILE? Become a Social Support Companion and help someone's week sparkle. A little shopping, a short scenic drive, a wander through the park, coffee, conversation, and perhaps a surprisingly strong opinion about biscuits. These simple moments help older people stay connected, independent, and feeling like they belong in our community. We are Mandurah-based in the South-West team seeking Social Support Companions. A few hours of your time can turn an ordinary Tuesday into someone's favourite day of the week.
What Youll Do
* Pick up, accompany and take home one of our lovely clients (Up to 2-3 hours total time commitment)
* Show care and kindness
* Be their friendly travel buddy for appointments, activities, and special outings
* Share stories, laughter, and maybe discover a new favourite song for your playlist
When We Need You
Choose a time that suits you - Monday to Friday
Who You Are
* A safe and reliable driver with a current licence
* Warm, patient, and happy to chat
* The kind of person who knows that small gestures create big impact
