Recruitment Training and Retention The Hospital Elder Life Program © 2000, Sharon K. Inouye, MD, MPH

HELP Project Planning Tool In this section think about…. How will you go about recruiting volunteers What qualifications will you set for the volunteer role?(age, personal attributes, previous experience, time commitment, police check, health clearance) How will you go about training the volunteers? What strategies will you use to help retain volunteers? The Hospital Elder Life Program © 2000, Sharon K. Inouye, MD, MPH

Recruitment Work closely with Volunteer Resources -provides volunteer recruitment, screening and general training. They also identify hospital volunteers who seem suited to undertake the additional training to become a HELP volunteer. While the program seeks volunteers of all backgrounds, it has become a sought-after experience for many college/ university students, especially those interested in the health care field. Look for a mixture of different types of volunteers. If you only draw from the student population you will struggle with covering shift during student downtimes like exams The Hospital Elder Life Program © 2000, Sharon K. Inouye, MD, MPH

Volunteer Qualifications Reliable and caring; enjoy working with older people Understand the boundaries of patient /volunteer relationship Mature in judgment Discreet, empathetic behavior and ability to exercise diplomacy Comfortable talking to patients, patient’s family and staff Ability to relate with sensitivity to all patients Ability to work independently and assume responsibility Ability to refer questions to others as needed Minimum time commitment of 1 shift per week for 6 months The Hospital Elder Life Program © 2000, Sharon K. Inouye, MD, MPH

Training Training should be done a minimum of three times a year Volunteers attend 8 hours of classroom training which includes An overview of the Volunteer Manual and HELP videos Guest speakers which could include Physiotherapist, Dietician, Speech Language Pathologist, a member of the Alzheimer Society 12 hours of ward training which includes a detailed tour of the environment-where to find supplies and how to get information shadowing experienced volunteers during their shifts The Hospital Elder Life Program © 2000, Sharon K.
