About the role
These flexible volunteer roles require very good communication and facilitation skills. Life experience in health, community or education fields would be an advantage. Senior volunteers are welcome. We wish to recruit and train a team of volunteers to facilitate community conversation sessions (up to 30 people at a time) about palliative care. Volunteers will be linked with local community groups who have expressed an interest in these sessions.

We are looking for volunteers with a mature approach who have the confidence to facilitate group discussions about palliative care.
