Summary
Why not join our friendly team of volunteers and welcome our callers.We'd like you to do either a morning or afternoon, weekdays only.
Detailed description
Our receptionists are the first point of contact for the hospice, providing a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere for patients, their relatives and staff. They answer the phone and greet visitors in a warm, compassionate and professional manner, directing all enquiries to the correct person or place. They also carry out a wide range of admin tasks that are essential to keeping the hospice running smoothly. You'll get full training on all of this.
The team share the shifts, each covering four hours between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. You'll be asked to cover at least once every two weeks, sometimes weekly if that suits you.
About The Norfolk Hospice Tapping House
The support provided is tailored to the individual, encompassing their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs in an understanding, caring and compassionate way, ensuring dignity is maintained throughout.
Care is delivered at the hospice in Hillington, either in the Inpatient Unit, Day Therapy Unit or via one-to-one sessions at the hospice. Care is sometimes provided in people’s own homes.
The current services cost over £2.5 million per year to run; the NHS funds only 32% of this, with the majority coming from the support of local groups, businesses and individuals.
