Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care
Compassionate Hub Volunteer - Amersham
We’re looking for volunteers to help run our Compassionate Hub in Amersham — a safe, relaxed space where people can connect, share, and feel supported.
What you’ll be doing:
• Welcoming guests with a smile and a cuppa
• Setting up the café space and keeping things cosy
• Chatting with visitors and offering a listening ear
• Helping create a warm, inclusive atmosphere for everyone
What difference you will make
Our Compassionate Communities offers community-based support to help beyond a patient’s palliative, end-of-life care and bereavement needs. The support is from diagnosis, working with local partners and volunteers to reach more people earlier.
The focus is on tackling the loneliness and isolation often experienced by people who are facing a life-limiting illness or are affected by bereavement and loss.
What additional skills or experience you should have
No experience needed — just a friendly nature, reliability, and a willingness to help others feel at ease. We’ll give you all the support and training you need.
We will have an informal chat with you to check that the role is right for you and ask you to come to our training course. We then ask you to complete an online application form (we can help you with this) and ask for a personal reference. There is no DBS (Criminal record) check for this role.
What training we will provide for you
All our volunteers come on a 1-day training course. These are held every 2 months and alternate between our offices in Watford and St Albans.
We also ask you to read our Volunteer training book before you start volunteering.
What you will get out of volunteering for us
What’s in it for you?
- Make a real difference in someone’s day
- Be part of a kind, supportive hospice community
- Learn new skills and build confidence
- Tea, biscuits, and plenty of heartfelt appreciation
