Inpatient Unit Volunteer - Warwick

In-Patient Unit Hospice volunteers are at the forefront of this essential patient service. They provide vital support to the nursing staff, and facilitate a welcoming and comfortable environment; helping patients to relax, socialise and enjoy their day. A team of two – three volunteers work together on each shift (alternate weekend shifts available)

As an Inpatient Unit volunteer, you will work alongside the nursing team to support them in providing a high-quality patient service. You will welcome visitors to the hospice, talk with relatives and visitors, and show them to patient rooms.

At the heart of what we do is patient wellbeing; from managing symptoms and controlling pain to delivering emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual support in a relaxed and friendly environment where friends, family and pets are welcome. We know that making someone feel better is not just about medicine, sometimes holding someone’s hand or taking the time to listen to their fears makes the greatest difference.
