Caring Cuisine plays a vital role enabling older Australians to enjoy living independently in the familiar surroundings and comfort of their own home.

As a not-for-profit charity, in order to support our clients we rely on a large team of volunteers to deliver meals and conduct welfare checks. Chatting for a few minutes whilst delivering healthy fresh food helps cut through social isolation and provides peace of minds to clients and their loved ones.

As a Volunteer Meal Dispatcher you will attend our St Lucia service around 8am on weekdays to help organize meals so our volunteer drivers can then deliver meals to clients. Once drivers arrive you will help pack the meals into their cars. Meals are packed and ready to leave by 10.30am.

We operate Monday - Friday and are currently seeking dispatchers most urgently for Mondays - however we do need support in this role on every day of the week.

You can volunteer for one or more particular day/s each week, month or fortnight, or on an ad-hoc basis – we are very flexible depending on your availability! On-the shift training is provided by our Volunteer Coordinator and other experienced volunteers.

To succeed in this rewarding role all you need is attention to detail while working quickly to pack bags, and a friendly disposition to meet and greet fellow team members and our volunteer drivers!

We look forward to meeting you!
