Volunteering

Volunteers play key roles across South Shore Health, including assisting in clerical work and helping patients and family members navigate through our facilities. 

Our volunteers truly make a difference in the lives of our caregivers, our patients, and their families.

South Shore Health offers many different volunteer opportunities. 

Most volunteer positions require weekday and daytime availability. While we do have some evening and weekend placements, these are extremely limited. 

Volunteers assist staff in many departments throughout the hospital, including (but not limited to) escorting, spiritual care, office/clerical duties, hospitality, and more. 

Please note that participation in our Baby Cuddler Program is currently limited to South Shore Health employees. 

Requirements for volunteers: 

• Be at least 16 years of age.
• Must complete all required Employee Health screenings and clearances.
• Commit to three to four hours weekly for a period of at least six months after completing an application process and mandatory volunteer orientation.
• Adhere to all hospital policies and procedures, including a professional dress code.
• Maintain patient confidentiality.
