Ad-hoc Reception Volunteer

Woking & Sam Beare Hospice are pleased to announce the following volunteer role:

Ad-hoc Reception Volunteer – to cover shifts as and when required (by mutual arrangement)

We are a patient-centred charity that delivers palliative and end of life care to thousands of people each year with advanced life-limiting illnesses who live in Northwest Surrey, also providing support to their carers and families in patient homes, in care or nursing homes or through its In-Patient Unit in the Hospice; as well as through the Bradbury Wellbeing Centre.

You will, therefore, be joining a passionate and dedicated team of professionals that make a real difference to the families across the North West Surrey community.

“I love that my role means so much to me personally. I really feel like I am giving something back”

Volunteer Colleague

The Reception role is varied and it will include meeting and greeting people, including patients, who arrive via ambulance, staff, patient visitors, members of the public visiting our café, delivery drivers, fellow volunteers etc.

Reception cover is required for when the regular volunteer is unable to cover for whatever reason e.g. holidays/illness. Shifts could be offered AM or PM across 7 days of the week so please state your general availability when applying so we do not contact you when you are definitely not available.

We’re looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers who can engage with people of all ages and from all walks of life to join our team.

If you would like to find out more, please pop into the Hospice and have a chat with the Reception team or ring [contact hidden] and ask to speak to someone about the role. Alternatively, please complete our online application form which will then be passed on to Head of Reception to make contact. A DBS check will be required for this role.

What are the benefits to you?

• The opportunity to support Woking and Sam Beare Hospices and enable the hospice to continue to provide care at no cost to the patients
