Volunteering

There would be few, if any, parts of Nurse Maude that have not benefited from more than 100 volunteers who, collectively, donate thousands of hours of their time to Nurse Maude each and every year.

Their philosophy is to enhance the quality of patient care and augment services, and, in doing so, they are an integral part of Nurse Maude's operation.

Volunteers can be found across the organisation, including the Bereavement Service,

Biography Service, doing clerical tasks, the Complementary Therapy Programme, Diversional Therapy, Education Services, Family Support, Fundraising, in the hair salon, Hospice, Hospital, Laundry, Library, doing the flowers and helping maintain the gardens, on the reception desk at the hospital, at the Hospice Remembrance Services and creating and running special events to benefit Nurse Maude and its clients.

Volunteer Services could always use a hand (and a heart) so anyone who wants to work with a great team of people, and lead the way in community care, should contact Volunteer Services on 375-4230 or email volunteers@nursemaude.org.nz and talk to the Co-ordinator of Volunteers.

Volunteers must be aged 14 years and over, and those under the age of 18 must have parental consent. All Nurse Maude Volunteers receive training and a supportive environment in which to work.
