We welcome new volunteers, particularly with carpentry or trades skills! Get in touch and be part of our team.
We love working with groups! With a bit of notice we can make good use of your team. Get in touch and let’s make plans!
We will review your application and if we have suitable work available for you.
If we don’t have suitable volunteer work available we will keep your details on file so we can let you know about future opportunities.
If there is a role available for you, we will contact you and invite you to attend an induction.
Good communication, great listening, problem-solving and patience are essential. Handy skills are very welcome but if you want to learn, we can teach you!
Our name says it all, resilience and adaptability are important in our work. We do big work here, and patience, as well as care and compassion will help.
We do our best to organise well in advance but sometimes things won’t work out the way we planned them, and we will need to try something different.
Our team is a big one, with lots of moving parts. If you can’t make it to a shift we appreciate as much notice as possible so we can make other plans.
Our volunteers are an important part of our team, we need to know how to work together respectfully and how to resolve issues if they come up.
Disaster recovery can be hard, we will support you but it’s good if you know how to keep your chin up and keep smiling.
We are looking for reliable people who can work together as part of a team, we ask that you commit to your rostered shifts, and that you follow our code of conduct that outlines how we will work together respectfully. You will need to follow the directions of your team leader, and always keep yourself and others safe. You may be asked to undertake a criminal record check depending on the work you will be doing.
If you’re a Working Holiday Maker (WHM), you can count your work assisting in the recovery from natural disasters—as ‘specified work’. When volunteering with Resilient Lismore, please submit your visa application number and passport number in your application, so we can include it in the necessary documentation after your volunteer time with us. You will need to keep a detailed diary of each day you work. For more information about visa requirements, you can check out this link: Work and Holiday Visa Specified Work.
The Northern Rivers is a special place, but we still have some way to go in our recovery from the 2022 disaster. You can make a difference.
