Hospital Guide / Patient Support Volunteer (non driving)

St Andrew’s Hospital is the largest, independent private hospital in Australia. For over 80 years we have been providing medical and surgical excellence to South Australians, and today we are home to the most comprehensive cancer facilities in the state.

The St Andrew’s Hospital Foundation exists to support St Andrew’s Hospital. We raise funds to provide our hospital with financial support, enabling St Andrew’s to maintain state of the art equipment and facilities and to provide specialised staff education and training.

St Andrew’s Hospital Foundation has a long history of supporting a community of volunteers who are deeply and personally connected to the hospital and wish to make a meaningful contribution.

The heart of our volunteer service is our Patient Support Team. Our services currently offer 3 shifts a day. 7-10am,10-1pm or 1pm-4pm.

Duties include:

Welcoming and directing visitors to the Hospital Escorting Patients who are being admitted to the Hospital Helping with luggage (if appropriate training has been completed) Providing information to patients regarding the function of equipment in their rooms e.g. TV, bed adjustment and call bell.

Training will be provided.

As St Andrew's Hospital highly values our volunteers, you will be invited to attend regular social functions, training and celebrations.

The Foundation provides volunteers with lunch and a drink option on days a shift is completed.

St Andrew's volunteers are entitled to a number of benefits including discounts for on-site pharmacies and imaging, plus complimentary attendance at St Andrew's Emergency Department.

All volunteers are required to complete appropriate training and undergo a Working with Children Check (at no cost to the volunteer).
