The Ayrshire Hospice
- VO101860
As well as our care delivered within the community, our In-Patient Unit is where our patients
and families are cared for by the clinical and medical teams, ensuring that each patient and
their family is supported and cared for to the highest standard. Without our invaluable IPU
volunteering team, we cannot provide this quality of care to patients and families.
As an IPU volunteer your main role will be to help enhance our patients experience and
make their time in the hospice as comfortable as possible. You can support this care by
providing practical and compassionate support to patients, their families and our staff while
helping to provide a welcoming and friendly environment. Every moment matters for our
patients and their families and whether its supporting patients to spend time with loved
ones, reading a book together, taking part in an art class or supporting a patient to share a
special meal with family, these moments bring joy. IPU volunteering roles play a vital part in
celebrations and creating moments with family and friends that will be treasured.
