Offer your time. Share a pot of tea/coffee. Be there when it matters. 

We are looking for everyday people to join our Volunteer Team at the Musgrove Park Hospital.

What you’ll be part of:

  • Offering emotional comfort and conversation
  • Help someone express what matters most to them
  • Share helpful information and where to find local resources
  • Support family members or carers, before and after bereavement.

You’ll never be asked to do anything you’re uncomfortable with, and you’ll receive full training and support from the Marie Curie team. Plus, you’ll be surrounded by a welcoming team, all dedicated to helping others and caring as much as you do.

You’d be a great fit if you’re:

  • Patient and good at listening
  • Non-judgmental of others and friendly
  • Emotionally mature and steady in sensitive moments
  • Able to commit to 3 hours p/week
  • Comfortable using email and filling in a short visit report

In return, you can learn and achieve:

  • A sense of purpose and connection in a deeply rewarding role
  • Ongoing support, training and guidance
  • Recognition and appreciation for the time you give
  • Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses each month
  • A chance to make a lasting difference

Ready to take the next step?

Here is what we'll need you to do to get started with this opportunity:

  • Complete an online application form
  • Provide 2 non-family references
  • Consent to a DBS Background Check (Disclosure & Barring Service)
  • Complete a 2 hour online/in-person training
  • Attend an in-person induction with an existing Volunteer who will guide and support you.
