Cleaning

As with every organisation, cleaning is an essential role, especially within a hospital environment and for the safety of our staff and volunteers.

We usually work in pairs or as a team and currently do the cleaning on Tuesday and Friday afternoons for approximately 1½ to 2 hours each session (depending on the number of volunteers on the day).

Cleaning is undertaken in the following areas:

• Clinic Room and the four Intensive Care Units (ICUs). If an ICU is occupied, then the staff involved will look after the cleaning.
• office areas and meeting room,
• kitchen and staff area, and
• toilets and laundry.

Each area needs to be vacuumed and mopped, bins emptied and general cleaning undertaken as required.
