In Patient Unit Pantry Volunteer

Volunteer Now has partnered with Be Collective to bring a dedicated online platform for volunteering to Northern Ireland. The platform supports volunteers through the volunteering process and helps connect more people with a wider range of opportunities. There are lots of great features to Be Collective like messaging, making a profile, and being able to compile all your experiences, training and roles as well as the skills gained within a social CV. You can search and apply for volunteer roles below. If you can’t find anything you like at the moment – register now, then check back soon – new opportunities are added all the time!

Northern Ireland Hospice reflects the community we serve, and as such we are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all; one where you can bring your whole self to your volunteering role and feel welcomed and respected by staff and other volunteers.

We can work around your needs and provide reasonable adjustments by agreement with you.
