The Shakespeare Hospice, based in Stratford upon Avon, offers a diverse range of services to patients, and their families/ carers across South Warwickshire and surrounding areas. The Hospice is not just about end-of-life care, we provide support and compassion alongside our patients and their families throughout their journey from diagnosis through to treatment, and survivorship.

Patients and their families can access one or more specialised services; day hospice, hospice at home, adult and children’s counselling for pre and post bereavement, transitional care for terminally ill 16 – 24 year olds, and provide spiritual, emotional, and complementary therapies. We pride our offer as one that is all inclusive and embraces not only the patient but their complete support system, family and loved ones.

Volunteer Coordinator role:

Our volunteers are the backbone of the Hospice.  They enable us to deliver the highest quality of care and support to our patients and their families, bringing with them a wonderful diversity of skills.  We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Volunteer Coordinator, who will play a key role in the recruitment, induction, training and retention of our volunteers.  You will help develop the volunteer experience across the Hospice, and in particular the volunteering roles which support our clinical services.

You will be able to work on your own initiative, with strong organisational and interpersonal skills.  You will also be able to demonstrate good written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to give presentations to groups of people.   Previous experience of working with, supervising and developing volunteers is preferred but not essential.

Working as part of a wider, friendly and committed staff team, this role presents an exciting opportunity to play an active part in ensuring ongoing support to those who volunteer for our much-loved Hospice.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK.
