Admin on An Adventure

Posts: 11 ✭
Hello everyone! My name is Ginger Simmons.
I heard of such dedicated surgical volunteerism with an admin asst job to our local hospital surgical director. I watched many surgeries and heard the surgeons and nurses discuss upcoming and past surgical vacations, becoming fascinated with such skill and selfless dedication. As I left that job, I remained curious if there is anything a non-clinical person can contribute to the world like that and just Googled 'Mercy Ships', and there lay the dozens of opportunities!
Even as my husband is unable to travel with me, I am VERY pleased to find a small service window in sales and gift shop support. I have never traveled further than the US and Canada and have no idea how to arrange flights and connections for far-away places. I hope someone can help me, when I get my dates.
I am SO excited to do this!

I think it is super cool that you are doing this!!
I'm Jeremy, a recruiter for Mercy Ships and I'm happy to assist you. Congratulations on being accepted into our Talent Pipeline! I'm so excited for your desire to serve with Mercy Ships and look forward to the day you are able to join us on board.
Concerning making your travel arrangements, your Human Resources Facilitator will be able to assist you with making those arrangements, once your dates have been officially accepted. While many volunteers make their own flight arrangements, many of our volunteers also work with Raptim, a travel agency that partners with Mercy Ships and other non-profit organizations for just such occasions.
In the meantime, I joyfully pray and wait with you for your future service dates!
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thank you again for joining us. Together we are bringing hope and healing!
Grace and peace,
Jeremy
Virginia,
So glad to hear about your interest and
upcoming service with Mercy Ships.
I am the Church Relations Recruiter, which
means I have some resources that are available for you if you are
going to be speaking at a church to share about your journey.
To see the Church Resources click HERE.
Please let me know if I can be of any
help.
Many people get to share their experience when
they return from the ship as well.
You don’t have to worry if that should be you.
We have what you need to help you succeed.
You are our greatest asset and we are honored
to have you join us.
Serving Together,
Kelly
