Current Vacancies

The Council is looking for Volunteers to assist a group of older residents who may otherwise experience social isolation to get together at the local Hope Café on a weekly basis.

As a volunteer, you’ll be working as part of a small team of Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) volunteers, and will be encouraged to join the group for a cuppa and chat. There may also be a requirement to assist with pushing a wheelchair or aiding citizens with mobility impairment. 

The group meets on Tuesdays from 11am - 1pm. OHS wheelchair training will be provided for the role where required.

The Council’s CVS supports older people living in aged care facilities through providing Volunteers to provide companionship to socially isolated residents.

If this sounds like something you’d like to get involved in, we’d love to hear from you!

Please contact Belinda Naish in the Council’s Volunteer Services team on 08 8366 4631 or bnaish@npsp.sa.gov.au for more information or to register your interest.

We are seeking volunteers and eligible clients for our new Pet Care Program.

If you think you may be eligible for this service or would like to volunteer for this Program, please contact Belinda Naish, Volunteer Services Coordinator on 08 8366 4631 or email: bnaish@npsp.sa.gov.au (Monday to Wednesday).
