A HOSPICE which provides care and support for people across East Sussex with life-limiting illnesses is to hold an event to encourage new volunteers.
The recruitment day, being held by St. Wilfrid’s Hospice, is to be held at ‘Gather’ in the Beacon Shopping Centre on Thursday 6th February between 10am and 4pm.
It’s aimed to recruit anyone interested in volunteering, or working, at the Broadwater Way hospice, in one of their 11 shops, or out in the community.
Vicky Ford, Volunteer Engagement Manager, said: “We currently have over 400 volunteers supporting our work in shops, communities and in our hospice building. We are always looking to welcome new faces to our amazing team so if you have some time to spare and would like to make a difference in your local community, we would love to hear from you.”
Jan McGregor has volunteered for St Wilfrid’s for more than 10 years, first in the Donation Centre in Moy Avenue and then in the café at the hospice. “I wanted to be able to give something back after the wonderful care my husband received at the hospice,” she said.
“I really enjoy my role in the café. I get to meet and work with so many lovely people and have made many friends. I feel it is such a privilege to volunteer at St Wilfrid’s and it is such a pleasure to be part of the wonderful team there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.”
If you cannot attend the information day and would like to speak to someone about a volunteer role, please email vsteam@stwhospice.org or call 01323 434205. For current St Wilfrid’s paid job vacancies, and to sign up to job alerts, please visit stwhospice.org/vacancies
