About This Opportunity

Outing Volunteers contribute to a resident’s health and wellness by assisting with mobility so the resident feels engaged and more in touch with the community. Whether it’s an assisted walk in the neighbourhood or an organized bus trip, your help will allow our residents to enjoy activities outside. The outings are typically daytime hours.

·         Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage with residents

·         Understand the safety requirements and rules of the Brenda Strafford Foundation

·         Sign in and out and track your hours

·         Arrive on time and maintain a professional demeanor with residents and staff

·         Report the resident’s participation to your supervisor for charting on their clinical record

·         In a timely manner, let your supervisor know if you are running late or unable to fulfill your commitment
