Hospital meet and greet team needs volunteers
Taranaki Base Hospital is urgently seeking extra volunteers to add to their very successful ‘‘Meet and Greet’’ team.
The team is unable to provide volunteers for two shifts at the moment so if you have the time please consider helping. These volunteers in their smart blue jackets are there to greet visitors and patients alike.
The hospital can be a confusing place to find your way around and these valued volunteers help to make everyone’s visit a lot less stressful. The values that are looked for include a warm and friendly personality, good communication skills, reliability, commitment and being comfortable approaching people to offer assistance. Duties include greeting visitors and patients, directing and assisting people to their destination, providing information about the hospital and sometimes just being there offer comfort and conversation.
Volunteers are placed on a roster that works in with their busy lives - so if you are keen to join then please ring and register with Heather at the Volunteers Centre (06) 7588-986.
Orientation, training and on-going support will be offered so please call today. Your community needs you!
