Join our Supportive Care team, either based at Deer Park, Barnstaple or The Long House, Holsworthy to assist, support and contribute to the hospice’s Supportive Care service, offering one to one support. Primarily with bereaved clients, but also some patients and family members.
You would be supporting patients and family members as they explore their grief and loss on a one to one basis and making simple records and inputting these details onto the hospice’s electronic client record, so you will need good IT skills with an attention to detail.
As well as 1:1 support, you may be making telephone contact with bereaved hospice clients a few months after their bereavement to assist them in deciding whether they would benefit from further support.
As part of your role, you will be required to attend monthly team supervision meetings, either in Deer Park or The Long House, depending on which team you join. Supervision is a vital part of this role and takes place either 1st or 3rd Friday of every month.
Full training will be given, and reasonable expenses reimbursed upon prior agreement with your line manager.
If you would like to find out more information please contact the Volunteer Office or simply submit your application and we will be in touch after the closing date.
