Volunteer Opportunities
- Volunteer Page on the Public Website – Southern Health-Santé Sud continues to provide Volunteer opportunities throughout the region. Our volunteer page on the pubic website has been updated so you might see an increase in persons wanting to volunteer, including students. To help streamline, we have included an Application Form on the public website that is received by Recruitment & Retention. Recruitment and retention will connect with the appropriate site/program. Each site/program is responsible for creating and identifying Volunteer opportunities within their program. Sites are invited to continue to recruit volunteers and Recruitment & Retention will also promote Volunteer Services available throughout the region when attending Career Fair events. Volunteer involvement mutually benefits both the volunteer and the organization. It increases our capacity as an organization to accomplish our goals, and provides volunteers with opportunities to develop and contribute.

- SH-SS Self-Development Plan Template – Designed to help employees set personal and professional goals. Managers collaborate with staff to build actionable development plans.
- FLS Self-Development Plan: Condition of Employment | Underfill – Required for new hires in designated bilingual positions. Focuses on enhancing French language skills based on current proficiency.
