Complementary Therapist Volunteer - Acupuncturist

As a Complementary Therapist Volunteer, you will be fully supported by the Complementary Therapy Coordinator and the Wellbeing Centre nursing team. You will receive a handover from the team prior to each session, plus a debrief afterwards to talk through the session and raise any concerns. Typical activities will include:

• Deliver therapy sessions in the Hospice to patients
• Deliver therapy sessions to carers
• Ensure that the therapy treatment rooms are maintained to a high standard
As part of this role, we will provide you with a tunic and trousers (which is laundered at the Hospice) plus a volunteer badge. IMPACT YOU WILL MAKE By sharing your expertise as a Complementary Therapist Volunteer, you can have a hugely positive impact on the quality of life for those living with life limiting illness, and for the people caring for them. There aren't words to describe the difference our therapists and their treatments can have in terms of the emotional uplift people experience in this calm and welcoming environment. Princess Alice Hospice is a centre of excellence. We believe that end of life care is about helping people live every moment to the full, in comfort and dignity. It's about creating a space, whether in our Hospice or at home, where families can enjoy special moments and make precious memories. Every day we're improving our services. And we've made it our mission to reach even more people with the expert end of life care everyone deserves. Our values inspire us and ensure that our care is nothing short of outstanding every time, for every patient and family. Do you share them? If the answer is yes', you could be one of those special people we're looking for to join our team!
