What is the Site Ambassadors Program?

Auckland District Health Board (ADHB) is completing a massive rebuilding programme, which will result in the relocation and reorganisation of hospital and health services across the Auckland City Hospital/Te Papakainga Atawhai Campus and Greenlane Clinical Centre/Maungakiekie Campus. We wish to ensure that all patients and other visitors can take advantage of these new facilities without confusion or anxiety. 

The Volunteer-Site Ambassadors provide friendly assistance, enabling people to find their way around the new hospital, clinics, wards and other facilities as required. All Site Ambassadors are trained and easily recognised in their uniform. 

The Volunteer Programme was initiated in 2003 to provide a quality service for all people visiting ADHB sites at Auckland City Hospital/Te Papakainga Atawhai Campus and Greenlane Clinical Centre/Maungakiekie Campus. Site Ambassadors bring with them a caring, sincere attitude and enjoy meeting and directing patients, visitors and their families. 

Site Ambassadors come in for one shift each week for four hours. However some volunteers prefer to do several shifts each week and that is welcomed. Volunteers are asked to make a minimum commitment of six months. This is due in part to the role itself, as it may take awhile to become familiar with the sites and changes happening, but also we need a strong committed team. 

We provide Volunteer-Site Ambassadors with free car parking, travel allowance, uniform and training. Also we organise social occasions to say thanks to the team, this also provides an opportunity to meet other volunteers in the programme. 

If you are available to make a regular ongoing commitment for six months or more and would like to be a member of this busy Volunteer Team please contact the Volunteer Centre. Phone 375-7095, Fax 375-7065 or print and post your application to : ADHB Volunteer Centre, Private Bag 92024, Auckland.
