Ambassador
Our Ambassador volunteers are friendly hosts to patients, families and visitors as they enter Nova Scotia Health facilities. The Ambassador Volunteers help relieve stress for patients and visitors who enter our facilities by providing directions and information about our facilities during their visit. This is a fast-paced program with varying demands requiring volunteers to be on their feet and to walk throughout the buildings. If you love meeting new people and working in a busy environment, then these roles are for you. Some of the responsibilities include:
- Welcoming patients, visitors, and staff into the building.
- Helping with finding locations throughout designated buildings at the hospital.
- Accompanying people to the appropriate floor, clinic, or room and provide friendly support along the way.
- Assisting visitors in contacting the appropriate department and/or staff person.
- When required, providing wheelchair to accompany the person to floor, clinic, or room.
- Providing information to patients and visitors.
