Music Session Assistant at HammondCare Cardiff Residential Care

We’re looking for a warm, patient person to support our afternoon music sessions with residents living with dementia. These sessions run from 1–3pm and offer a beautiful opportunity to spark joy, comfort, and connection through the power of music.

As a Music Assistant, you’ll help residents engage by offering gentle encouragement, sharing simple instruments, supporting sing‑alongs, or simply being a kind, steady presence in the room. Music can awaken memories, lift spirits, and create moments of calm or delight — and your involvement helps make those moments possible.

If you enjoy music and love creating meaningful moments with others, this role brings a lovely blend of connection, creativity, and care.

Your impact

Volunteering as a Musical guest can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.

HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
