VOLUNTEERING CAN CHANGE
YOUR LIFE!
Drivers Needed
Can you spare a few hours a week to volunteer in your
community? We need you!
Everyone who takes on the role of a community volunteer,
working with the Port Adelaide Enfield Council, says what
a heart-warming experience it is and how sometimes they
think they benefit more than the people they’re supposed to
be helping. Being a volunteer provides a wonderful sense of
achievement that is sometimes missing in our busy lives.
We have a number of volunteer vacancies available:
• We need reliable volunteers with a good driving record
and excellent communication skills to drive Community
Buses and Home Support Vans. All vehicles are automatic.
• We need volunteers to help support older members of
our community at social groups.Volunteers work as a part
of a team with program staff, to provide social outings,
once a week at the Kilburn Community centre.
• We need volunteers to assist with the 'Have A Go Too'
Program, which is an adapted sport program for disabled
participants at the Enfield Community Centre
You will work in a friendly supportive environment, meet new
friends, and have the knowledge that volunteers really do make
a difference! For further Information please contact
Audrey on 8405 6871 or email
