We are looking for regular weekly volunteer support at our new Ajax-based headquarters (1461 Harwood Ave. N.) and our Dwyer site (590 Rossland Rd. W., Oshawa). Read more below about the types of volunteer roles we are recruiting for.
“Meet and Greet” Volunteer
Locations available: Ajax Headquarters and Dwyer
Located at our Welcome Centre/Front Desk, and also referred to as the “Director of First Impressions,” the “Meet and Greet” volunteer role provides a warm welcome to clients, families and visitors entering our sites. Volunteers in this role answer general questions, support wayfinding and assist with reminder calls for upcoming appointments. They may also assist in answering an overflow of incoming calls and support administrative tasks from administrative and clinical teams.
Café Volunteer
Location available: Ajax Headquarters
Fulfilling drink and snack orders from families, visitors and staff, maintaining clean operations, ensuring inventory is stocked and operating and taking payment via a point-of-sale device. No food preparation is required as all food items available in the café will be prepackaged. Only cashless payment options will be available at the café.
Weekly shifts will be Monday through Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., or 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. It is anticipated that 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. shifts and Saturday shifts will be added in 2025 based on appointment volumes.
Other roles you may perform as a volunteer
Volunteers are also considered for more hands-on volunteering opportunities when new ones come up. Some more recent opportunities include assisting with groups during March Break and Summer Camps, Recreation Therapy programs and services, special events in the community, assisting clinicians with workshops, working with our Research Team, etc.
