Volunteer at the Hospice

Inpatient Unit Reception Volunteer

You'll help keep the Inpatient Unit reception running smoothly, offering a warm welcome and a calm presence to patients, visitors, and staff alike.

Whether you're answering phone calls or greeting people as they arrive, you'll be a friendly first point of contact.

This is an evening and weekend role, making it a good fit for someone who's available outside of standard working hours.

Flower Volunteer

You'll take care of the flower arrangements at our Brentry site, keeping them fresh, well-presented and a pleasure to look at.

These small touches make a big difference. We encourage patients to have flowers, and we provide them in public areas too - adding a sense of warmth and calm that complements the care given by our staff.

Coffee Shop Volunteer

You'll help make our Brentry Coffee Shop a warm and welcoming place for everyone - whether they're patients, visitors, or staff.

You'll be serving freshly prepared soups, salads, sandwiches, cakes and drinks - all made by our talented catering team.

Inpatient Unit Volunteer

As a volunteer on our Inpatient Unit, you'll play a vital role in supporting our clinical teams.

You'll help with simple but meaningful tasks: serving refreshments to patients and visitors, preparing meal trays, and clearing away crockery and cutlery. You'll also bring something less tangible but just as important: your ability to listen, to talk, and to simply be there to support at a difficult time.

Volunteer Driver

Using your own car or our Wheelchair Mobility Car, you'll help patients travel to and from home so they can attend our Wellbeing Service or other appointments.
