Inpatient Unit Assistants provide invaluable support to staff, patients and their families and carers within the Unit throughout the day.
Are you kind, calm, and happy to lend a hand? We’re looking for volunteers to join our inpatient unit team — offering practical help, emotional support, and a friendly face to patients and families during some of life’s most important moments.
What you’ll be doing:
- Welcoming visitors and making them feel at ease
- Chatting with patients, offering companionship and a listening ear
- Helping with drinks, light refreshments, and keeping the space tidy
- Supporting our nursing team with non-clinical tasks
- Being a gentle, reassuring presence when it’s needed most
What are we looking for?
No medical experience needed — just empathy, reliability, and a willingness to help. We’ll give you all the training and support you need to feel confident and valued. We welcome volunteers from age 17 upwards.
What’s in it for you?
- 💬 Be part of a warm, compassionate team
- 😊 Make a meaningful difference every single shift
- 🧠 Learn new skills and build confidence in a specialist care setting
- ☕ Tea, biscuits, and plenty of heartfelt appreciation

About Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care
When serious illness strikes, we're here to help people in our community get the best out of every day. From the moment of diagnosis our specialist teams work with each individual to provide the compassionate care they need, in the place that's best for them. This is what we call: extraordinary care, anywhere.
We know that life-limiting illness doesn't just affect the individual, so we care for those around each patient, too – both during an illness and through bereavement.
It takes a whole community to provide this care to everybody who needs it. Our volunteers, supporters and champions in the community are the driving force behind everything we do.
