Volunteer Opportunity – Mums & Bubs Program

Friday mornings | Calvary John James Hospital, Deakin

Do you love spending time with babies and want to make a positive difference in the lives of new mums?

Calvary John James Hospital is looking for a warm, caring and reliable volunteer to support our weekly Mums & Bubs post-natal physiotherapy exercise class on Friday mornings.

Our Mums & Bubs program provides new mothers with an opportunity to participate in gentle post-natal exercise while their babies are nearby. As a volunteer, you'll help create a relaxed, welcoming and supportive setting by spending time with the little ones while their mums take part in the session.

What would you be doing?
Playing, engaging and interacting with babies during the exercise class.
Helping to settle babies when needed.
Providing bottle feeds (expressed breast milk or formula) when requested by the mother.
Offering a friendly, reassuring presence to new mums.
Working alongside our friendly physiotherapy team to help make the sessions enjoyable and welcoming.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone who:
Has previous experience caring for or spending time with babies and young children.




Is naturally warm, patient, nurturing and approachable.
Enjoys interacting with babies and is comfortable responding to their needs.
Respects different parenting styles and follows the guidance of each mother.
Is reliable, confident and happy to work as part of a team.

The commitment

This is a weekly, ongoing volunteer opportunity on Friday mornings at John James Hospital.

We're particularly looking for someone who can make a genuine, long-term commitment and become a familiar and valued part of the program. Consistency is key for the mothers, babies and team involved.

Please note that this chance is not suitable for short-term work experience, student placements, course or study requirements, or as a pathway to employment. It is a volunteer role for someone who is genuinely interested in giving their time and making a difference.
