    Description

    Are you looking for a meaningful way to make a difference in the lives of patients and families? Join our team as a Patient Transport Volunteer.

    About the Role

    Patient Transport Volunteers play an essential role in helping patients move safely throughout our facility and beyond. Volunteers assist with:

    • Supporting patient discharge by escorting patients to designated pick‑up areas
    • Assisting with transport to and from appointments within the clinic
    • Helping move patients to and from procedures or diagnostic areas
    • Providing a friendly presence and compassionate interaction during each trip

    Why It Matters

    Your support helps reduce patient wait times, improves comfort and safety, and provides reassurance during what can be a stressful time. A simple escort can make a big difference in a patient’s day.

    Ideal Volunteers

    We’re looking for individuals who are:

    • Friendly, compassionate, and patient-focused
    • Reliable and punctual
    • Comfortable walking and pushing wheelchairs or assisting with mobility (training provided)
    • Strong communicators who enjoy working with people

    What You’ll Gain

    • A rewarding experience making a direct impact on patient care
    • Opportunities to build people skills and healthcare experience
    • A welcoming team environment and ongoing support

    Training & Support

    All volunteers receive comprehensive training to ensure safety, confidence, and success in the role.
