Volunteering FAQs

  • We have many different volunteer opportunities; all of the roles carried out are meaningful and supportive to patients, families, visitors and staff alike. Volunteers can help in patient environments such as; the in-patient unit, day services, occupational and complementary therapy or non-patient environments such as; shops, reception, fundraising, events, community friends groups or ambassadors. All volunteers are offered a general induction to the Hospice setting and further specific training for the area where you will be based. On-going training sessions and support is provided as you learn your role.

    We're always looking to add new skills and provide new opportunities for our volunteers. If you have a skill that you can't see in our open positions, email us on volunteer@ayrshirehospice.org and we'll be in touch!

  • This will depend on the role you apply for. The time commitment required for each role will be outlined on the role description. Even if you work full-time, are at school, college or University and have a busy lifestyle we will have a role that suits your availability.

  • Volunteering should not affect your benefits, as long you inform your advisor and comply with the guidelines around claim. Sometimes your advisor may request a letter of confirmation regarding your volunteering hours and expenses, which we can issue if required. For further information please speak to your advisor or visit www.gov.uk/volunteering

  • Ideally we ask for a commitment of one year. If your circumstances change in any way we would always seek to support this. However as a volunteer you are free to leave whenever you like if things don't work out we would just ask for as much notice as possible.

  • No, we will pay out of pocket expenses associated with your role. Travel expenses will be reimbursed at the public transport rate

  • You know you’re doing a bit of good and raising funds for a much needed charity. I get a lot out of it too – chatting to people and enjoying events.
