Join our volunteering team and do something special with your time.
Our charity was formed by our local community coming together to bring hospice care to local patients and their families. And volunteers from towns and villages all across Buckinghamshire and its borders continue to help us be there for our patients when they need us most.
Volunteers are an invaluable part of our team – your time, skills and knowledge can bring something special to the charity, whatever your reason for volunteering.
For most roles, the minimum age for volunteering at Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity is 14 years old. For patient-facing roles, you will need to be at least 18 years old.
We try to be as flexible as possible and will talk to you to arrange the times you are available. For some roles the times are fixed and in these cases we would like a commitment to these.
Our shop managers will be pleased to hear from you even if you only have a couple of hours to spend a week.
The easy answer to that is anyone. Everyone has something to bring to Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity. We want our volunteer teams to represent the diversity of our local community. For example:
Our shops offer places for students working towards their Duke of Edinburgh awards. We can support pupils aged 14 and above in any of our shops.
We advertise all our current volunteer roles on our website. If your preferred role isn’t advertised, we’d still love to hear from you. Our Volunteering Team can give advice on volunteering and help to match you to the right role.
Some roles do require a professional qualification or skill in a certain area; however for many roles what is needed is enthusiasm, positivity and a commitment to work within our values. match you to the right role and provide you with the training required.
All roles have on-the-job training. We also ask that all volunteers complete our essential training. This will enable you to keep yourself safe in the role and give you all the knowledge and skills you need to carry it out. We also have role-specific training where required.
Please complete our volunteer enquiry form. You can find this on our website or we can post a copy out to you. To find out more, please get in touch with us at volunteering@fnhospice.org.uk or call 01296 429975.
