Some interaction with clients, carers, staff and other volunteers.

​General Maintenance
Handymen/women wanted to help with minor repairs, small painting jobs, cleaning windows etc. This can involve indoor and outdoor work. Hours and locations varied and negotiable.
Retail - Op Shops
There are always various roles to be filled in the numerous outlets in our region. Many hands required to sort and price the donated goods after they have been collected or dropped off. If you have a flair for display you might arrange items to ensure they catch the buyers eye. Reliable people also needed to use cash registers and balance tills.
Social Support
A wide variety of tasks come under the support banner - everything from assisting the elderly who are undertaking excursions in and out of vehicles or going shopping to making cups of tea and sandwiches.
