Volunteer Roles

We have a wide variety of volunteer roles across the Hospice

Community Champions

If your active in your community, but don't always have the time in your schedule to volunteer, and want to do your bit for the Hospice, becoming a Community Champion may be for you! Help out by handing out flyers, promoting our events in your area, putting up posters and sharing us on your social media pages.

Gardening, maintenance, housekeeping & catering 

Our award-winning gardens can be a much-needed place of calm and reflection for patients and their loved ones, so it’s important they are kept in good condition throughout the seasons. We need help with basic DIY and maintenance across our Hospice buildings, shops and with our cleaning and laundry too. Try your hand at creating beautiful floral arrangements or help our Catering Team with tasks in the kitchen.

Patient and visitor support  

Volunteers provide invaluable help to our clinical and nursing staff, supporting patients with everyday activities. These roles might be in Wellbeing and Supportive Care, in the community or in the Inpatient Unit and may include:

  • Community Volunteers, supporting patients and their loved ones in their own homes
  • Drivers and Drivers’ Mates 
  • Patient Companion (Inpatient Unit)
  • Wellbeing and Supportive Care
  • Complementary Therapist 
  • Creative Therapist
  • Bereavement Support

Retail support in shops and online 

We have shops across the borough, selling donated and new goods. We have customer service roles on the shop floor and non-customer facing roles including sorting donations and product research. Our eBay operation includes researching and photographing items, preparing online listings and packaging items for postage. We also have other opportunities in retail including PAT testing or moving stock in our Warehouse.

Fundraising and community engagement  

We have many fundraising events throughout the year and always need plenty of willing helping hands to make things run smoothly, and to maintain our profile in the community. These occasional volunteer roles are ideal for those who may not be able to commit to regular hours.

Local businesses across the borough are amongst some of our most valued supporters. Fundraising for Springhill can be an excellent way for businesses to take part in team building, either through a direct visit to the Hospice, or taking part in a fundraising activity.
