Saskatoon City Hospital - Client Companion Volunteer 6200/6300 Medicine
The goal of the Client Companion Associate Volunteer is to help patients feel welcome, supported, and less isolated during their hospital stay. Volunteers provide companionship, friendly conversation, emotional support, and meaningful social interaction to enhance the patient experience and promote overall well-being.
Interactions may include one-on-one conversation, reading, playing cards or board games, completing puzzles, colouring, discussing current events, and other recreational activities based on patients' interests and abilities.
Volunteers should be compassionate, patient, approachable, and respectful of diverse backgrounds and needs. This is a non-clinical role, and volunteers work under the direction of healthcare staff.
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and have strong communication and interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Shift Times: One 2-hour shift, Monday to Friday, between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
