Committee Member/Fire Safety Liaison - Abbeyfield Whangārei

Ko wai mātou – About us: Abbeyfield provides warm, family style homes where older people can live independently while enjoying companionship and a strong sense of community. Each Abbeyfield house is supported by a local volunteer committee whose care and dedication help create the welcoming environment our residents call home.

He aha te tūranga – About the role:
We are looking for an adult volunteer to join our committee as “fire safety liaison” supervising the 6 monthly trial evacuation drill and being one one of the first responder committee members when the fire alarm is activated.

Ko wai koe – About you:
Comfortable being part of the Executive Committee and attending monthly meetings . Warm, practical, steady under pressure and able to work with empathy for older adults. Available on a flexible basis. Able to work collaboratively as part of a committee.

**Additional information**
The recruitment process will involve:
• An interview with the committee
• Background check: An MOJ check is required because the role involves access to a home for vulnerable older adults and oversight for staff working in that setting.

In return, you will gain purpose, connection, and the satisfaction of helping older residents live comfortably and confidently in a home that feels like family. If this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you.
