Volunteer


Are you interested in making a difference in the life of a senior while becoming a valued member of a dedicated and enthusiastic health care team?

The Beverly Centre is proud to have a committed and active group of volunteers working within its three health care and residential centres in south Calgary at The Beverly Centre Glenmore, The Beverly Centre Lake Midnapore and The Beverly Estate. All volunteers are provided with orientation and training to ensure your comfort and preparedness for your volunteer role with the guidance and support of our Volunteer Coordinators. You may choose from a host of volunteer opportunities or we can assist in creating a position for you that meets your potential and is mutually rewarding.

Welcome Volunteers

We are currently seeking friendly, outgoing individuals who love seniors and can work independently to "Welcome" new residents into our facilities and assist in guiding them through their new surroundings.

We offer flexible hours to suit your schedule; the opportunity to enjoy the rewards of building new friendships and the ability to brighten someone's day!!!

We require strong oral, listening and written skills in English; a comfort level in working with seniors and seniors with disabilities, and an interest in learning about our individual sites.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to talk to you today!

Please contact:

Volunteer Coordinator at The Beverly Centre - Glenmore at 640-8742;

Volunteer Coordinator at The Beverly Centre - Lake Midnapore at 873-2622.
