As a Volunteer you will support the Enhanced Care Team to support vulnerable patients who are inpatients in the Hospital. There can be patients with learning disabilities, mental health needs or dementia.
During your Volunteer shift, you will support the Enhanced Care Practitioners with the following:
- Supporting the patients’ wellbeing and comfort by being an active listener
- Spending time with patients, providing a listening ear, engaging in friendly conversations
- Providing reassurance to help allay the patients’ anxieties
- Engaging the patients in meaningful activities, e.g. reading, reminiscing, playing games or puzzles, helping the patient to keep in touch with family.
