Process of becoming a volunteer
Volunteers complete an application form, are interviewed by our Volunteer Lead, have references checked, undergo a Vulnerable Sector Check and Palliative Care Training before volunteers are placed in contact with those in our care. Volunteers are key members of our interdisciplinary team and they provide us with support in a variety of roles. If you have any questions about volunteering with Hospice Georgian Triangle, please feel free to reach out to our Volunteer Lead Helen today.
Completed forms can be dropped off / mailed to Campbell House or scanned and emailed to Ilonka Liohani.
