This role provides a befriending service for our hospice patients. This can involve sitting, talking, and reading with patients, or taking patients out into the hospice grounds. It can be challenging work at times but there is also lots of chat and laughter too!

We are looking for a Kitchen Volunteer to support our catering team in food preparation at the hospice. This is a very sociable and fun role in a lovely team but it can be fairly demanding so it would suit someone who likes to be kept busy.

We are currently looking for shop volunteers in our Aigburth, Breck Road, Formby, Netherton and Walton Vale shops. We have a variety of roles available to suit your experience and availability. Volunteers join our shop teams for many different reasons - whether it be to support the hospice, to explore a passion for sustainable fashion or vintage clothing, to gain work based skills, or to meet new people.

We are looking for a new team of volunteers to support our growing e-commerce operation, based at our Walton Vale shop. This role will involve photographing, listing, pricing, packaging, and posting items from our online retail platforms. This is a completely flexible role to fit in around other commitments. You will need good communication and IT skills, plus familiarity with online shopping platforms.

We are currently looking for volunteers to support the work of our fundraising team within a specified local area, helping to raise income and awareness of St Joseph’s Hospice. A car is useful for this role, but not essential. It's all about making good connections with local businesses and community groups.

Our receptionists are a welcoming face and first point of contact for potential patients and visitors to the hospice, providing a comprehensive reception and administrative service on a voluntary basis to support the smooth running of the hospice. Much of the role is telephone call handling, so a good telephone manner is required.

We are currently looking for one or two volunteers to assist in the day to day running of our charity shops by collecting and delivering furniture and stock.
