Wellbeing Centre Volunteers

Our Wellbeing Centre Volunteers support our clinical team and patients in a wide variety of ways including:

• Assisting patients with signing in/out of the Wellbeing Centre using the electronic system
• Engaging with patients through conversation, quizzes, table top games, crafts etc.
• Preparing and serving hot drinks/biscuits
• Ensuring the main day room and kitchen area is kept clean and tidy inclusive of clearing away and washing up
• Ensuring patients are ready for lunch including checking if the patient would like to use the toilet prior to lunch
• Assisting nursing and therapy staff as and when required
• Adhering to Basic Food Hygiene requirements
• Checking and tidying the lounge after patients have left; returning any unused food to the main kitchen
• Directing any patient queries to their named nurse e.g. health, personal, dietary
• Using creative skills to engage patients

We will need to complete a DBS check, but no formal qualifications are necessary. A full adherence to confidentiality and security are needed but training will be given (ie Patient confidentiality). 

You will need strong and confident communications skills, with a key skill being a good listener and being able to communicate at all levels with a diverse range of people.

Have a caring and compassionate nature and sensitive to patients’ needs.
