Megan Gibbon, volunteer at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales
Do you have spare time on your hands and a desire to help others? Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is currently looking for volunteers to support their expanding meet and greet Service at the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales.
Meet and greet volunteers are needed to help provide a welcoming service to patients, visitors and Health Board staff.
Volunteers help by:
- Making patients, visitors and the general public feel welcome by signposting, directing and accompanying them to their destination
- Reassuring anxious patients or visitors who may be lost or unsure where to go
- Assisting with general enquiries and providing an information service
Volunteering helps you gain new skills, meet new people and enables you to make a positive contribution to your community, as well as gaining valuable work experience.
Volunteer Manager, Michelle Fowler said: “Coming into hospital as a patient or visitor can be quite stressful if you’re not sure where to go.
“Our facilities are growing all the time, making it more difficult for people to find their way from one place to another and this is one of the main reasons why we are looking to provide additional meet and greet volunteers.
“By having volunteers supporting in these areas we hope to make a difference to the patient visitors experience whilst attending the hospital.”
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer and helping to make a difference to this service please contact Michelle Fowler Voluntary Service Manager on 029 2184 7867 or email [email protected]
