Could you spare some time to support wellbeing at Longfield Community Hospice? We are looking for qualified Complementary Therapy Volunteers to provide gentle, client-centred complementary therapy treatments as part of our Living Well Services. In this role, you will offer one-to-one therapies to patients living with a life-limiting illness, as well as to carers, family members and people who have been bereaved. Therapies currently offered include massage (including HEARTS and ‘M’ Technique), aromatherapy massage, reflexology and reiki, with treatments adapted to individual needs and lasting between 10 and 45 minutes. You will work as part of Longfield’s clinical Living Well Services team, following the guidance of the Complementary Therapy team and completing relevant records and documentation.

This role requires a minimum commitment of one morning or afternoon per fortnight, or a minimum of two outpatient treatments per session, plus attendance at induction, mandatory training and occasional volunteer meetings. This role is ideal for a qualified, compassionate therapist who is emotionally resilient, comfortable working with people with life-limiting illness, and keen to make a meaningful difference through holistic care
