Date published: 13 January 2025
St Wilfrid’s Hospice is inviting anyone interested in becoming a volunteer to pop along to an information day to find out more.
The recruitment day is at Gather in the Beacon Shopping Centre on Thursday 6th February between 10am and 4pm. Anyone interested in volunteering, or working, at the Broadwater Way hospice, in one of our 11 shops, or out in the community is invited to drop in.
Vicky Ford, Volunteer Engagement Manager, said: “We currently have over 400 volunteers supporting our work in shops, communities and in our hospice building. We are always looking to welcome new faces to our amazing team so if you have some time to spare and would like to make a difference in your local community, we would love to hear from you.”
Jan McGregor has volunteered for St Wilfrid’s for more than 10 years, first in the Donation Centre in Moy Avenue and then in the hospice café. “I wanted to be able to give something back after the wonderful care my husband received at the hospice,” she said.
“I really enjoy my role in the café. I get to meet and work with so many lovely people and have made many friends. I feel it is such a privilege to volunteer at St Wilfrid’s and it is such a pleasure to be part of the wonderful team there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.”
If you cannot attend the information day and would like to speak to someone about a volunteer role, please email vsteam@stwhospice.org or call 01323 434205. For current St Wilfrid’s paid job vacancies, and to sign up to job alerts, please visit stwhospice.org/vacancies
