Hospital volunteers donate their time, energy and desire to help others in an effort to make patients and their families have a more comfortable and positive stay while at the centre.
PLEASE NOTE: At the moment, our volunteer programme is full and we are unfortunately not accepting new applicants at this time.
All of our volunteers willingly donate their time to us, an act that closely aligns with the values of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God.
Our team of volunteers works together and takes part in ongoing training sessions to expand their knowledge and be able to safely and efficiently volunteer with us. Some of the responsibilities of volunteers include organising activities, energising play areas, spending time with patients and families, organising charity events and managing various workshops for the children, among many other things.
Volunteers are present in practically every part of the Hospital. Furthermore, they are always working together with the fantastic team of professionals we have at the SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital.
We currently have over 200 volunteers on our team. All of our volunteers have some values in common: hospitality, solidarity and commitment.
In the more than 150 years of this Hospital's history, we have always relied on the support and involvement of wider society. That is why volunteers are, and have always been, so important.
