Complementary Therapist Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers with a qualification in aromatherapy, massage, reflexology or Reiki to join our expanding complementary therapy team and provide therapies to patients and their families.

Volunteers are needed to provide regular sessions on our Inpatient Unit or outpatient clinic in Dorchester and planned outpatient clinic in Weymouth. Therapists must be able to adapt therapies to meet individual’s needs, have a caring and professional approach and a good understanding of confidentiality and record keeping.

You will have an ITEC diploma or equivalent, be registered with a professional association, hold appropriate insurance and be able to commit to regular sessions. A minimum of 2 years post qualification experience is preferred but less will be considered.

What we offer:

• An excellent opportunity to develop your skills and expertise within a professional, supportive environment, providing a valuable CPD opportunity.
• Induction training, ongoing support and regular 1:1s.
• Opportunities to network with other volunteers within group meetings and to provide workshop sessions for peers.
• All applications will be subject to a DBS check and the provision of two acceptable references

Please note we are unable to offer this opportunity to applicants who have been bereaved within the last 12 months.
