Volunteers
We Want You!
Ever thought of Volunteering? Volunteering not only benefits your association, it’s good for you too.
Gain professional experience, meet new people and learn new skills while helping us improve our services.
Volunteer workers at NSW Stoma are valued and appreciated and play an important role in supporting our strategic objectives. Volunteer roles may include working within our operational environment to assist with roles such as stock receipt and dispatch, administration and customer service/reception or acting in a governance capacity by joining our board/executive committee.
While the majority of volunteers working within the association environment either have a stoma themselves or have a close family member who is living with a stoma, our association welcomes volunteer enquiries from any interested person.
NSW Stoma Ltd provides a clean, safe, friendly and happy work environment and we are always seeking friendly positive people to help us cope with our ever-increasing workload.
Volunteers are reimbursed reasonable expenses for travel to our premises.
What is my commitment as an NSW Stoma Ltd Volunteer?
Volunteers take part in a regular workday which is usually between 8.oo am and 4 pm. Volunteering can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Once we negotiate your availability, we will include you on our roster and you become an important part of our team.
What happens if I can’t attend my rostered volunteer day?
We recognise that things don’t always go to plan. If you are sick or have another commitment on your rostered day, please contact us at the earliest opportunity to let us know that you won’t be in so that we can make other arrangements to fill the gap.
Is there a minimum age?
You must be 18 years old or over to volunteer at NSW Stoma Ltd.
Do I need experience?
While no formal experience is needed, all volunteers need:
• Good communications skills
• Good level of physical fitness
• Willingness to learn
• Regular and reliable
• Fluent in English
• A belief in the purpose of the organisation
We supply training and instructions for each volunteer. For other requirements see our volunteer position descriptions here
