Jill’s Story: Guy’s Hospital

Jill’s Story: Guy’s Hospital

Jill joined the volunteer service at Guy’s Hospital in March 2005, following retirement from general employment, as a result of a friend who worked at Guy’s mentioning that the hospital was looking for volunteers. Six years later, she joined us at the League of Remembrance.

Jill says: “During my time volunteering, I have undertaken a variety of roles, including serving in the ‘Thrift Shop’; assisting on the Helpdesk, and directing patients to the various clinics; and assisting the Orthopaedic secretaries with various administrative tasks such as folding envelopes and sending out letters.

“I really enjoy my work as a volunteer at Guy’s, where I now volunteer one day a week as a Wayfinder. The staff are really helpful and friendly, and it is so lovely going to volunteer there.  Apart from the friendly atmosphere, and lovely welcome I get on arrival at the hospital, it is the fact that each day fills me with job satisfaction, and the feeling of being so well supported, that keeps me going.
