Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care
Scar therapist volunteer
Are you a qualified scar therapist with a caring touch and a few hours to spare? We’d love to welcome you to our hospice team.
We’re looking for volunteers trained in scar therapy to help bring comfort, relaxation, and a little peace to our patients and their carers.
- What you’ll be doing:
- Offering gentle, supportive treatments to patients, carers, or family members
- Creating moments of calm in a busy world
- Working alongside a warm, compassionate team who truly value what you do
- You may be offering treatments at Grove House in St. Albans, or Peace Hospice in Watford.
What difference you will make
As a hospice, we believe in providing holistic care for our patients and their families. As a scar therapist volunteering with our team, you will be helping to support the wellbeing and resilience of the people we help
What additional skills or experience you should have
You’ll need to be qualified in your therapy, with at least one year's experience, and happy to work sensitively with people receiving palliative care. We’ll provide all the support you need — you bring your skills and your kindness.
What training we will provide for you
You will come to a 1-day training course for volunteers who work with patients and families, and then will be given further training and support from our Complementary Therapy team.
What you will get out of volunteering for us
What’s in it for you?
- Make a meaningful difference in someone’s day
- Be part of a supportive, friendly hospice community
- Gain experience in a specialist care setting
