Saskatoon City Hospital - Client Companion Volunteer
The goal of the Client Companion volunteer is to help patients feel welcome, maintain quality of life, and reduce some of the negative effects of being in hospital. Client Companions offer socialization, conversation and non-medical supports.
Volunteers would interact one on one with patients in their room or in small groups of 2-4 in common areas.
Interactions might include card games, board games, conversation, current events, creative activities, coloring pictures, doing word puzzles, reading, music, going for "walks" in wheelchairs on or off the unit.
Shift times:
One 2-hour shift on any day, Monday to Friday, between 2:00–4:00 PM
Applicants must have strong communication skills and be able to work independently with minimal supervision. Minimum age 18 years.
