Volunteers

Current Volunteer Vacancies

 

Volunteers are a vital part of the organisation.  They provide an extra level of quality and care for patients, carers and their families and friends.

The value placed upon our volunteers is immeasurable.  On average volunteers give over 750 hours of service each week to Overgate.  Some volunteers have a regular commitment and others help on an occasional basis.  

All our volunteers are required to undertake a Criminal Record Bureau enhanced disclosure, and attend a general induction training session at Overgate Hospice before they can begin volunteering.

Volunteers work in most areas of the Hospice including:

• Reception
• Administration
