Volunteer

Since its inauguration in March 2002, the NCCHD has hosted a variety of volunteer activities. Wearing distinct
orange uniforms, our volunteers welcome children and families to the hospital, putting them at ease and helping them wherever possible. As of January 2014, 250 members were enrolled in our volunteer program. Volunteers are able to participate in a wide range of useful jobs and activities when visiting the hospital, including:

Supporting visiting patients and providing guidance where necessary, accompanying patients around the hospital.

Supporting and guiding patients admitted to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department during holiday periods.

Selling handmade goods and health products at the center's shop and assisting customers.

We look after the infant siblings of the hospitalized patients.

Also, if you are hospitalized in NCCHD, we will look after your child who is not able to enter the ward.

Gardening

Tending the hospital's main garden and roof garden, including managing flowerbeds, weeding, and general cleaning.

Organizing and maintaining the picture book collections both on the wards and medical examination floors.

Attending to patients on the wards under the supervision of medical staff.

Helping with seasonal events, concerts, bazaars and other public events.

We accept open applications twice a year, normally during spring and autumn. For further details on applying for volunteer positions, please either visit our homepage (www.ncchd.go.jp), or pick up a pamphlet from inside the hospital.
