Therapeutic Care Volunteers at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Our opportunities include:

Therapeutic Care Volunteers -

We are looking for caring, compassionate volunteers that will engage with patients to provide therapeutic support and interaction across various departments within the Trust. 

Our volunteers offer a listening ear, provide comfort and support, reminisce about the past and engage in therapeutic activities to enhance patients expereinces.

As part of the therapeutic interaction, volunteers will encourage patients to be aware of their nutritional and hydration needs as well contributing to their wellbeing.

Volunteers also provide support and assistance to staff within the Trust whilst contributing to the overall patient experience.

We expect all volunteers to act as an ambassador for the Therapeutic Support Team and promote the service
