Marie Curie Companion Volunteer - University Llandough Hospital

Offer your time. Share a pot of tea/coffee. Be there when it matters. 

We are looking for everyday people to join our Volunteer Team at the University Llandough Hospital

What you’ll be part of:

  • Offering emotional comfort and conversation
  • Help someone express what matters most to them
  • Share helpful information and where to find local resources
  • Support family members or carers, before and after bereavement.

You’ll never be asked to do anything you’re uncomfortable with, and you’ll receive full training and support from the Marie Curie team. Plus, you’ll be surrounded by a welcoming team, all dedicated to helping others and caring as much as you do.

You’d be a great fit if you’re:

  • Patient and good at listening
  • Non-judgmental of others and friendly
  • Emotionally mature and steady in sensitive moments
  • Able to commit to 3 hours p/week
  • Comfortable using email and filling in a short visit report

In return, you can learn and achieve:

  • A sense of purpose and connection in a deeply rewarding role
  • Ongoing support, training and guidance
  • Recognition and appreciation for the time you give
  • Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses each month
  • A chance to make a lasting difference

Reasons to use Rodeo

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
