Warm and friendly personalities are wanted to be the welcoming face of East Cheshire Hospice.
Volunteer receptionists are in demand to help out front-of-house at the Millward Drive facility on an ongoing basis.
Shifts on the reception are four hours during the week and two hours at weekends and evenings and although the Hospice has a team of around 80 people willing to help, they would welcome more helping hands.
Volunteer Co-Ordinator, Helena Smith, says the role is not an onerous one but it is important.
“Our receptionists are the first people that our patients and their families see, often at difficult times so they need to be welcoming and approachable with a willingness to help” says Helena. “We already have a marvellous team but we can always do with some more support.”
“Occasionally we need some help at the last minute but usually shifts are allocated well in advance for our volunteers,” says Helena.
The role entails answering phones and helping out at the small Hospice shop and volunteers should be computer literate.
Anyone who thinks they can help can contact Helena on 01625 664984.
