Guitar and Music Skills Mentor - Hamilton

Hamilton

Music knows no bounds. It reaches across ages, abilities, and experiences to bring people together.
For Mr M, music isn’t just a hobby. It’s a lifeline. A country music lover in his early 50s with a cheeky sense of humour, a laid-back vibe, and a heart as big as his love for a good guitar riff. On any given day, you might find him tapping his foot to a classic tune, cracking a well-timed joke, or strumming a few chords on his guitar as he dreams of getting better and better.

Mr M lives with both physical and intellectual disabilities, but that’s just part of the picture. What truly defines him is his passion for music, his love of people, and his desire to keep learning and sharing moments of joy. He’s been working on his guitar skills and would love someone to help him keep growing, attend local country music clubs or events, and maybe even learn a few new songs together.

He’s not looking for a support worker. He’s looking for a mate. Someone who’ll turn up with kindness, patience, and a big ol’ sense of humour. Someone who sees the person first and who believes that connection, laughter, and music can light up a life.

If you believe that too, and want to help someone chase a dream they can’t quite reach on their own, then joining Mr M on his journey might just be the perfect fit for you.

Come as you are. Bring your love of music, your open heart, and your willingness to be present, and help write the next verse in Mr M’s story.

Requirements:
  • You’re someone who feels at home with a guitar in your hands, especially when it comes to country music, and you’re happy to keep things simple, relaxed, and fun.
  • You have a kind heart, plenty of patience, and a good sense of humour that makes others feel comfortable and welcome.
  • You love encouraging people, thinking creatively about how to help, and celebrating the small wins that make all the difference.
  • You don’t mind jumping online now and then to find easy tutorials or new songs to try together.
  • You’re reliable — someone Mr M can count on to turn up and be present.
  • You’re open to learning and happy to take a bit of guidance, knowing that supporting someone is a two-way street.
  • You understand the balance between offering support and respecting someone’s independence, knowing both are important.

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:
  • About an hour or two a week — whatever feels right for you both
  • Flexible and easygoing — we’ll chat and find a rhythm that works
