Meaningful Activity Volunteer (Ferryfield House)

• NHS Lothian Primary Care Organisation

• VO97333

Ferryfield House is looking for confident and enthusiastic volunteers to support older patients. This will involve trying to engage patients in games and social activities on the ward, although sometimes all that is needed is a friendly chat. It would be beneficial to have volunteers who can bring their own passions and hobbies to the ward (like music, photography, or make-up, for example) and integrate these into patient interactions. When using the 'enquire' form at the bottom of this page, please add your postcode to your message. Thank you!

Experience required

We are looking for volunteers who are kind, compassionate, and empathetic. You must also have strong verbal communications skills and be able to connect with people easily. Being reliable and punctual is extremely important. No previous experience is required, as full training will be provided.
