Hospice Services Experience Volunteer

At Highland Hospice, we believe that everyone in the Highlands facing life‑shortening illness, death, or bereavement deserves the highest standard of care and support. Our aim is to provide compassionate, person-centered hospice care to those we support and their families.
Listening to the experiences of the people who use our services is essential. Their feedback helps us understand what we are doing well and where we can improve. As a volunteer in this role, you will play a key role in gathering these valuable insights, enabling us to continually enhance the quality of care we provide.
