Massage therapist volunteer

Could you use your massage skills to improve the wellbeing of our patients?

Team Wellbeing therapies

Likely hours Around 4 hours a week

Are you a qualified massage therapist with a caring touch and a few hours to spare? We’d love to welcome you to our hospice team.

We’re looking for volunteers trained in massage to help bring comfort, relaxation, and a little peace to our patients and their carers.

What you’ll be doing:

• Offering gentle, supportive treatments to patients, carers, or family members
• Creating moments of calm in a busy world
• Working alongside a warm, compassionate team who truly value what you do
• You may be offering treatments at our hospice buildings in Watford or St Albans, or in people’s homes

What are we looking for?

You’ll need to be qualified in your therapy, with at least one year’s experience, and happy to work sensitively with people receiving palliative care. We’ll provide all the support you need — you bring your skills and your kindness.

What’s in it for you?

• 😊 Make a meaningful difference in someone’s day
• 💬 Be part of a supportive, friendly hospice community
• 🧠 Gain experience in a specialist care setting

Without the time our volunteers give to support all areas of our work, we couldn’t help all the families who need us. We have a wide range of volunteer roles with varying time commitments to suit people in different circumstances.
