The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this opportunity on behalf of Baptcare.
About the Role
As a Book Club Volunteer, you’ll facilitate relaxed and engaging book club sessions for our residents. This is less about teaching and more about sharing ideas, sparking conversation and enjoying great books together.
You will:
- Help select or suggest books (current, popular, classic or trending)
- Guide group discussions in an inclusive and welcoming way
- Encourage residents to share their thoughts, memories and opinions
- Create a warm, social space where stories truly connect people
About You
You’re a great fit if you:
- Have a broad interest in books and enjoy chatting or debating about them
- Are aware of current or popular reads (or keen to explore them)
- Are a confident communicator who enjoys group conversation
- Are kind, patient and enjoy engaging with older adults
- Are 18 years or older
No formal qualifications are required, just enthusiasm, reliability, and a love of reading.
When You’ll Volunteer
- Flexible weekday hours between 10am - 4pm (1 hour minimum)
- Sessions can be tailored to your availability
Why Volunteer With Us?
- Make a genuine difference in residents’ wellbeing and social connection
- Share your passion for books in a meaningful way
- Be part of a supportive and welcoming aged care community
- Enjoy rewarding conversations and a sense of purpose
If you’re someone who believes books are better when shared, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and help us turn pages into conversations at Hedley Sutton.
