Volunteering Vacancies
|
Our greatest asset is our staff resource, both paid or voluntary.
We have a wide range of dedicated, professional, enthusiastic employees who work together to deliver a service of excellence. In addition we rely heavily on our volunteer workforce who diversify and expand the services we can offer to our patients. 450 volunteers and over 100 employees work for Katharine House Hospice.
Full training is provided for all roles and no experience is necessary. We encourage new and existing volunteers to try any and as many roles they may be interested in, alongside another experienced volunteer or member of staff.
There is no minimum commitment for a voluntary role at Katharine House Hospice. Although some volunteers prefer a more regular position, others choose to volunteer on a flexible basis, either way we are more than happy to accommodate and would love to hear from anyone wishing to find out more – without commitment.
The details of our latest vacancies appear below. If you can’t find what you’re looking for please try again another time.

Tea Bar Volunteers
Do you have some time to spare to pour a cup of tea?
Katharine House Hospice runs the tea bar in Cannock Magistrates’ Court. The tea bar is manned entirely by volunteers who serve a variety of snacks and beverages.
The tea bar generates £8,000 worth of vital income as a result of the hard work and dedication of the volunteers that staff them. If you could spare a couple of hours a week to serve tea and sell refreshments then please contact Voluntary Services on 01785 254645 or email msayer@khhospice.org.uk
Drivers Roles
The Voluntary Services department at Katharine House Hospice welcome enquiries from volunteers who would be interested in helping provide transport for patients attending our Day Unit. We require drivers to collect patients from their home bringing them to the Day Care unit and then to take patients home again at the end of the day.
The role is one of the most caring voluntary roles at the Hospice as it includes the most one to one time with the patients. Driving is a very rewarding role which everyone on the existing driving team enjoys.
Because the role of driving is at the heart of the organisation it is essential that the rota’s are always comprehensively covered and voluntary services would be delighted to hear from anyone who thinks they can help.
Car Drivers
Drivers will use their own cars, for which they will receive mileage expenses.
Mini Bus Drivers
Drivers will be provided with full training to enable them to drive the hospice’s mini buses and provide transport for our less mobile patients.
Drivers need to:
- Be over the age of 21
- Hold a full UK driving licence

- Adequate motor insurance
- Access to their own roadworthy vehicle
