Staff
Our dedicated staff is the backbone of St Jude and teamwork is what makes it possible for us to care for each child and family with equal attention.
Each centre has a team that works to guarantee smooth daily routines.
Heading the centre, is the centre manager who is supported by a centre officer, teachers, and an activity coordinator for mothers and fathers. Additionally, there are housekeeping staff who ensure our centres are spotlessly clean, and van drivers who are responsible for getting families to and from the hospital for treatments. Trained counselors are available to guide and support our young patients and their parents.
