Every day of your life matters – from the first to the last. When you volunteer for Marie Curie, you understand that better than ever. We’re a passionate, committed and diverse team of more than 4,400 staff and 6,500 volunteers, here for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. We offer expert care, guidance and support, to help them get the most from the time they have left.
Marie Curie is committed to its values, which underpin our work. We take stringent steps to ensure that the people who join our organisation through employment or volunteering, are suitable for their roles and are committed to safeguarding all our people from harm. This includes our staff, volunteers and all those who use or come into contact with our services. We are dedicated to creating not just a safe place to work but also a supportive and rewarding one.
Marie Curie is committed to a world where everyone can thrive and fulfil their potential. We are devoted to the social justice imperatives and organisational benefits of full diversity, inclusion and equity in the workplace, and are a Stonewall champion. We actively encourage and welcome applications from candidates of diverse cultures, perspectives and lived experiences.
Your role will include some of, but is not restricted to, the following duties:
• Spending time with patients of University Hospital of Wales who have been identified as nearing the end of their life and providing support for them and their loved ones.
• Sitting with a patient when their loved ones need a break.
• Liaising with hospital staff and keeping the companions volunteer coordinator updated with any significant updates with the patient by telephone or in person.
• Writing and submitting a brief report after each patient or family you support.
• Explaining clearly the Companions Volunteer role and making sure that families are aware of the services provided by the hospital to families of dying patients.
• Covering a regular 3 hour weekly shift.
• Understand the need for boundaries and work within the boundaries set out.
• Attending ongoing mandatory training sessions and reflective meetings.
