Description:
Make a difference in the lives of seriously ill children and join our vibrant organisation!
We have a range of fun and rewarding volunteering opportunities.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Ronald McDonald House Charities is an iconic charity where the volunteers really do positively impact families and their kids, creating a warm and supportive home-away-from-home. We need people like you to support our mission!
Who are we? Ronald McDonald House Charities is one of the leading Global and Australian children’s charities supporting the ever-changing needs of seriously ill children and their families. In-line with its mission, Ronald McDonald House Charities Victoria & Tasmania (RMHC VIC & TAS) has dedicated more than 35 years to keeping families closer to their child with a serious illness who require treatment and support across Victoria and Tasmania.
KEY ROLES
We are currently seeking volunteers for the following 3 positions:
- House Helper The role of the House Helper is to assist us in providing a clean, welcoming and comfortable environment for the families staying at the House. This includes light cleaning and bed making (single beds only) but does not include cleaning bathrooms and toilets or mopping and vacuuming floors.
- Dinner Coordinator – Meals from the Heart The ‘Meals from the Heart’ program is a wonderful initiative which provides our families with delicious and nutritious meals, a night off from dinner preparation and a fun corporate staff engagement program for the groups that come into the House.
The role of the Dinner Coordinator is to support the groups to ensure food is well prepared, served to families in a timely manner and the kitchen left tidy and clean for the following day.
- Shuttle Bus Driver Using the RMHC 7-seater bus, the role of the Shuttle Bus Driver is to get our families where they need to go. Reducing the burden of inner-city travel, drivers transport families to places such as the hospitals, airport, supermarket, personal appointments and attractions like the zoo. Drivers will also help with deliveries and collections of donated goods.
We have many other opportunities available such as gardening, maintenance, school holiday program assistance, baking/cooking, event assistance, fundraising and wellbeing services.
