Patient Befriender Volunteer (Lakeside UHW)

Opportunity image

Patient Befrienders interact with patients who may feel lonely, isolated or bored on the wards. They spend time talking with patients, helping them to connect virtually with their loved ones and support with activities at the bedside or in the day room.

They can make a difference to a patient’s day with a friendly visit and chat or help pass the time with some fun activities.

Successful candidates can expect to start their roles in September/October 2023 upon completion of recruitment checks and training.
