Volunteering

St Columba's Hospice relies on the tireless efforts of some 500 volunteers whose contribution not only allows our clinical staff to further concentrate their efforts on caring - but also has a beneficial effect on our patients and their surroundings. There are, at times, new opportunities to volunteer with us.

Current volunteer opportunities are:

- NEW - We have 3 new vacancies in our Morningside Road based Bookshop - on Monday and Friday mornings and a Wednesday afternoon- call us on 551 7711 if you feel this may be of interest.

- Coffee Team - support needed in one of our Coffee Rooms - every Tuesday and every 2nd Friday (both in the afternoon).

- Fundraising - new volunteer Area Tin Collector required. Own car required and mileage expenses may be claimed - can you help? Please call 551 7711 for more information.

- VOLUNTEER DRIVERS URGENTLY NEEDED - to take our Day Hospice patients either to or from their homes. Own car required. Mileage expenses may be claimed. For more details, please call us on 551 7711.

Also........................

1. Due to the expansion of our Volunteer Complementary Therapy Team , we are now looking to recruit new volunteers to join us. Are you qualified and experienced in two or more of these therapies?

  • Massage
  • Aromatherapy
  • Reflexology
  • Indian Head Massage
  • Reiki

Are you available on a Tuesday? (if you are interested but not available on a Tuesday we would still love to hear from you!!) . Experience of working with people with advanced illness is not essential as all therapies will take place after consultation with a trained nurse and full support will be given.

For more information on any of these volunteer opportunities, please call Volunteer Services on 0131 551 7711 or.........why not.......
