Volunteer With Us!

Being a volunteer has lots of benefits for both the volunteer, people being supported, staff and the community. Volunteering has been linked to increased health and well-being and improved self-esteem, while also reducing stress, loneliness and depression. We rely on dedicated and compassionate volunteers to assist with many aspects of our operations.

Volunteers make a difference to the lives of people with a disability. Whether it’s a few hours a week or a larger commitment, it all makes a difference!

Volunteering at Waverley Social Enterprise is a truly rewarding and special experience. Volunteers are invaluable to our operation, bringing skills, diversity, friendliness and offering assistance to our workplace.

Maintaining high quality, meaningful employment, is imperative for our supported employees. It allows them to lead productive and fulfilling lives, whilst meeting other members of the community. It further lets our employees demonstrate their skills and work ethic to others, allowing volunteers to see their abilities and strengths.

We are a community within a community and welcome others to join us. Working alongside our employees in our registered not for profit charity comes with many benefits:

• Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills and become involved with your community in a fun and supportive way.
• Volunteering creates a positive experience for you and /or your team. It provides a sense of meaning and purpose.
• Volunteering gives you the opportunity to meet members of the community with diverse background.
• Volunteering sends a positive message to colleagues, friends and families of volunteers about people with a disability.
• Volunteers see the ability, not the disability of our employees.
• Volunteers have fun and are able to develop their skills
• Volunteers feel rewarded and are appreciated by our employees.
• Volunteering will help you share your skills, learn new skills, and create a better work life balance.

Waverley Social Enterprise welcomes volunteers from all walks of life. Volunteers are invited to work between the hours of 8:15am – 4:15pm. Volunteers are able to come in groups or volunteer alone. If you have any further questions about volunteering or would like to apply to volunteer, please contact our friendly HR team on 9544 7222.
