Kowhai Companions - Volunteers | Burwood Hospital Older Persons Health Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora - Waitaha Canterbury – Christchurch, South Island About the Kowhai Programme The Kowhai Programme trains volunteers to provide person-centred emotional tautoko / support and manaaki / practical assistance to patients in hospital. The programme is also designed to support whanau / family or carers when they are unable to be with their loved ones or support those patients who do not have whanau / family support. About the Kowhai Companion Role – Please note this is a volunteer position and is unpaid. As a Kowhai Companion, you will provide support similar to that usually provided by whanau or friends. This is a non-patient contact role and excludes any personal cares. You will gain an understanding of the patient's background, their whanau, identity, personal preferences, and the activities they enjoy to engage in a meaningful way. Kowhai Companions will support patients who experience memory and thinking problems such as delirium, those with dementia, or patients who would benefit from someone sitting with them face to face / kanohi ki te kanohi. The Kowhai Companions Programme is a successful initiative at Burwood Hospital and has been active since January 2022. What's been said about the Kowhai Programme "Being a Kowhai Companion gives me a purpose and reward beyond what I can adequately describe and express. I give my time, attention, and care to the patients I see once a week and in return I hear stories from the past, see smiles on their faces, share laughs, learn new life lessons." "This programme has done more for me than anything else during my hospital stay, having someone to take me outside gave me something to look forward to." "I felt really happy knowing that someone could be with Mum in the evenings; she gets very frightened and the staff can't be there with her all the time, they are lovely people…" If you have two to three hours weekly, are willing to commit for a minimum of 6 months, and have a desire to be the person that makes a difference in someone's day, apply now. For further information please contact Jane Kandhai, Programme Coordinator. To Apply please email ****** Please attach a CV and/or a letter telling us a little about yourself, including: Why you would like to become a Kowhai Companion What you will bring to the Kowhai Companion role Note: Be careful - Don't provide your bank or credit card details when applying for jobs.
