Summary
If you’re experienced in hair cutting and styling and are willing to help out for a few hours a week we’d love to hear from you.
Detailed description
We're looking for a volunteer hairdresser or barber. For many patients, having their hair washed, cut, or styled can make a real difference to how they feel.
The hospice wants to offer haircuts and styling to patients who may be unable to visit a salon themselves. You’d be giving them a sense of normality and personal care at an important time. Working closely with our clinical team you’ll be able to make sure hairdressing care is given safely and respectfully.
The days and times are flexible so this might suit someone who already works in a salon or barbers.
About Tapping House
Tapping House hospice is committed to providing outstanding care for people in the local community living with life-shortening illnesses and to their carers, family and friends including bereavement support.
The support provided is tailored to the individual, encompassing their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs in an understanding, caring and compassionate way, ensuring dignity is maintained throughout.
Care is delivered at the hospice in Hillington, either in the Inpatient Unit, at Day Therapy groups or one-to-one sessions at the hospice. Care is sometimes provided in people’s own homes. Our outstanding care services cost a staggering £6.7million to provide each year and this year alone we will need to raise £5 million to provide the care patients truly deserve. We rely on the majority of this coming from the support of local groups, businesses and individuals.
