Current opportunities

Signposting, and if necessary, guiding to relevant areas/departments within the hospital.
Supporting with the implementation of COVID safety measures (wearing of masks and use of hand gel).
Maintain stock of wheelchairs; replacing once someone has finished and cleaning for next use.
This can be a difficult time for patients and visitors so having that warm and helpful welcome can make all the difference.
Quote: I attended Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline. At the entrance door I was met with professionalism. The friendly meet and greeter at the door made me feel as though I was entering a top hotel.
