The Ayrshire Hospice
- VO101862
Volunteer catering assistants within the IPU play a vital role in helping patients and
visitors feel supported, comfortable and relaxed. Our care is person centred,
meaning that all of our patients choose what is important to them and that includes
what they eat and drink. Our patients are empowered to make choices, to have
something small to suit their appetite or to ask for something special to create a
treasured memory with family whilst sharing food.
As a volunteer, you would be involved in serving meals and refreshments, spending
time chatting with patients and their loved ones, keeping the kitchen and
refreshment areas neat and tidy and any other tasks relevant to role. You will play a
pivotal part in ensuring meals with loved ones are a special experience at a time
where these moments matter most. If you love to chat and make a real difference to
someone's day, this is the role for you.
Experience required
Ayrshire Hospice welcomes applications from all sections of the community. You do not
