Our volunteer roles
As far as we know, we are the first and only hospice in the UK to be run by volunteers. What makes us unique is that the vast majority of our team, including senior management and care staff, are volunteers. Everyone is here for the love of the work.
Don’t just think ‘I’m going to get back to my normal life’ when this pandemic ends. We’ve been given a rare opportunity here to look at what’s really important in life. Skanda Vale Hospice is here to help nurture and build on that.
Current opportunities
