Hospice Volunteers
Saint Michael's Hospice could not provide the quality of service we believe our patients deserve without the valuable support of over 450 volunteers. Volunteers are integrated into every aspect of our work within Crimple House, such as working with patients in our Day Therapy or In Patient Units.  
   

Volunteer drivers help with patient transportation and volunteer therapists provide massage, aromatherapy and reflexology. Volunteers also contribute to the day-to-day running of the Hospice by working within our administration, fundraising or housekeeping departments.

There are five Saint Michael's shops in Harrogate; 85A Leeds Road, 107 Cold Bath Road, 42 Church Avenue, 17 Cold Bath Road and 38 High Street, Starbeck. The hospice also has shops in Market Place, Otley, Market Square, Knaresborough and North Street, Ripon. We also have a hard working band of fundraising volunteers who help with events and also with street and store collections.

All new volunteers fill in an application form and attend an interview, followed by an induction day before they are placed within their chosen department. Volunteers working at Crimple House also need to undergo a Criminals Records Bureau check.

We are currently seeking Volunteers to join our catering team, work in our charity shops or to join our fundraisers. We also welcome enquiries from trained aromatherapists and reflexologists to work on a rota basis in our Day Therapy or In Patient Units.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or just want to have a chat about the opportunities. Please contact Sue Smith, Head of Human Resources, on (01423) 879 687 or email ssmith@saintmichaelshospice.org
