Volunteering
Hospitality Volunteer
Rowcroft Hospice
An independent charity providing palliative care.
Nov 2017 - Apr 2019 ยท 1 yr 6 mos
I provided hospitality services (such as teas, coffees and snacks) to residents of the hospice and their visiting family members. The role also required me to communicate effectively with the nurses so as to ensure residents with special requirements (e.g., dietary restrictions, allergies, PPE for respiratory infections, etc.) still received a high standard of care.
