London, United Kingdom University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for experienced therapists whom are able to deliver massage/reflexology sessions to make a difference to our patients and staff, across UCLH.

Complementary therapies can make a significant difference to the wellbeing of patients and their carers. They can provide a way to interact with patients, help reduce stress and anxiety, enable people to cope better with illness and pain control and relieve some of the symptoms or side effects of their treatments.

Volunteers can deliver sessions either to patients who have specifically requested a session or proactively offer their services on the wards. The service is available to patients and their carers. Therapists may either be based in specific areas/wards where they would have a specific line manager, or managed directly by the Volunteer Services Lead. Volunteers must be professionally qualified and have significant experience of delivering sessions in a healthcare setting
