About Us

Princess Alice Hospice is a charity supporting people in life, death and grief. We’re dedicated to working closely with individuals, communities and organisations in the London Boroughs of Kingston and Richmond and large parts of Surrey, to ensure more people receive the support they need.

We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We are fully committed to equality of opportunity and warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences. We value the unique perspectives each person brings and strive to create a workplace where everyone feels respected and supported. We are an organisation where you can be you.

We are signed up to the Disability Confident Scheme and we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.

About the Role

As a Volunteering Assistant, you’ll play a key role in supporting our Volunteer Team and working with managers across the organisation—all united by one purpose: delivering outstanding care to patients, families, and friends.

This is a fully office‑based role, reflecting the nature of the work and the need for close collaboration with colleagues.

You’ll provide essential administrative support, coordinate volunteer‑related tasks, and be the first point of contact for both prospective and existing volunteers. With a warm and welcoming approach, you’ll respond to enquiries, arrange one‑to‑one meetings, and assist in organising volunteer social events.

About You

You’re a friendly and organised individual with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You take pride in being meticulous and accurate in your work, and you’re confident using databases and the Microsoft Office suite. You enjoy working collaboratively and are motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution. If you’re someone who thrives in a supportive team environment and is passionate about helping others, this role could be a perfect fit.

Benefits

• 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
• Free on‑site parking
• Tranquil hospice grounds
• Subsidised meals at our on‑site restaurant
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Access to Blue Light Card discount card
• Access to Group Personal Pension Plan (provided by Scottish Widows) plus an Auto‑enrolment pension with NEST. If you have been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme, you may be able to continue your contributions to that scheme during your time at Princess Alice Hospice.
• Excellent changing facilities (with showers, fresh towels, and hairdryers)
• Wellbeing – we provide a programme of activities, opportunities, and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.
