Kurri Kurri Hospital is set high on the hill off Hospital Road and is the Lower Hunter Sector rehabilitation specialist. The hospital also provides an Emergency Department, Day Surgery, Day Care (Respite) and Medical Services to patients from Kurri Kurri and surrounds.With such a busy workload and no nearby shop, the volunteers are keen to reopen the cafe that has been closed most of the year.If you'd like to help bring the cafe to life at 'Pinkies Care', you could work as little as one day a week, but you'd be making a huge difference to the people who work onsite, visit patients, or work nearby at the Masonic Centre.You must be willing to have annual influenza vaccinations to keep you safe and ensure our staff and patients are safe. A private meeting with staff health will be arranged to give you all the requirements.Contact InformationFor more information, contact the Volunteer and Community Participation Coordinator Kim Simpson at 0414 674044 or email kim.simpson1@health.nsw.gov.au.Roles and ResponsibilitiesCompanionship & Social Support, Food Preparation & Service, Fundraising & Events, Governance, Boards & CommitteesSuitable forCentrelink Volunteers, Wheelchair Access, Work ExperienceCommitmentRegular - more than 6 monthsTrainingAn induction to the workforce will take place which will include infection control, privacy, code of conduct, and staff health.
