Volunteer opportunities
The importance of volunteers to the hospital
The volunteer program promotes community involvement and
provides a vital link between the community and St John of God
Hospital Bunbury for the enrichment of all. Volunteers are an
integral part of the team and make a significant contribution in
the provision of patient care which is holistic in approach.
Benefits of becoming a volunteer
The major benefit of being involved in the
Volunteer Program is the satisfaction gained from helping and
caring for patients. Knowing that they appreciate your service is
very rewarding.
Friendship with other staff and patients is
another benefit. Volunteers tend to develop social and lasting
relationships during their service at the hospital. We provide the
opportunity for all volunteers to meet and socialise at quarterly
meetings and other functions throughout the year and continually
recognise the important service they provide.
Being a volunteer can also help build self-esteem and confidence
and help you gain valuable experience in a working environment.
To apply for a volunteer position you will need to provide the
following:
Attendance at a Hospital Orientation Day is essential to
becoming a volunteer. These days are held on a Monday every
six weeks with morning tea and lunch provided.
