Are you friendly and welcoming?

A warm welcome can make all the difference. As a Meet & Greet Volunteer on our Inpatient Unit, you’ll be one of the first friendly faces that families, visitors and professionals see when they arrive — helping them feel reassured, supported and cared for at what can be a very emotional time.

💜 What you’ll be doing

  • Welcoming visitors and relatives to the unit and letting them in via the buzzer system
  • Checking who visitors are here to see and liaising with the nursing team
  • Helping ensure sign‑in procedures are followed
  • Keeping the welcome area calm, tidy and welcoming
  • Supporting visitors with kindness and empathy
