We’re looking for volunteers and would like to boost our existing teams as well as encouraging you to consider joining our new Volunteer Driver and Settle at Home Service.
The new service will support patients who are being discharged from hospital, helping with transporting patients or equipment back to their homes as a Volunteer Driver and/ or being a friendly face to get them settled back in as part of the Settle at Home Service.
This could involve basic tasks such as doing some shopping, making sure the house is warm or making a cup of tea.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver you will need to be over the age of 21 and hold a full clean driver’s licence, but a fully insured vehicle will be provided.
We are also looking to expand our existing team of volunteers, particularly general volunteers, who help to support patients and staff in clinical and non-clinical areas and our main reception; Butterfly volunteers who help to support our patients who are at end of life, their families and their loved ones; and mealtime volunteers, who help our patients who require additional assistance during mealtimes.
If you might be interested in any of these roles and would like further information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinators Victoria Allen or John Gilligan - Victoria.Allen@jpaget.nhs.uk telephone 01493 453683 or John.Gilligan@jpaget.nhs.uk telephone 01493 453546.
