It is a very rewarding opportunity for a caring professional who has some spare time to give and we can guarantee that it would be most appreciated by families for whom this can really make a difference.

We provide a private area and professional massage table so you do not need to bring your own equipment

Besides your demonstrated skills & training , other requirements for this role are the ability to maintain confidentiality, a positive, empathetic approach to your work and good listening skills
