Volunteers
Volunteers contribute greatly to life at St Nicholas Hospice Care and work in almost every area of the organisation. Their roles are vital; at present we have 518 volunteers giving over 1800 hours of support each month.
As an integral part of the Hospice Care Team they receive appropriate training, support and development within their roles.
Our team of volunteers are particularly key in helping to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in Orchard Day Therapy and on Sylvan Ward.
We often have vacancies particularly in the evenings and at weekends.
Volunteers are often needed to help with:
- complementary therapy and beauty treatments
- driving
- arts & crafts
- reception and administrative work
- gardening and flower arranging
- fundraising and shops
- catering and help at mealtimes
- maintenance
- lottery
- counselling
With specific training volunteers help with the more challenging aspects of the work of St Nicholas Hospice Care. We have a small team of Bereavement Volunteers who work with adults and children under the supervision of our Family Support Department.
If you are interested in volunteer work at St Nicholas Hospice Care - in any way - please do not hesitate to contact us.
