Working within the Wellbeing Centre (WBC) at Teesside Hospice.
The WBC is for individuals who have a life limiting illness who are currently independent but require support and skills to live their lives to the full. We run various support groups with the aim to increase self-esteem, confidence, low mood, improve symptoms to name a few. The individuals who attend are from a mix of ages and have various conditions, not just cancer. We would value any student who wants to improve their communication skills. We would want students to help by talking to the individuals who attend and assisting the staff with any jobs that need going to ensure the group runs smoothly for example, welcoming patients, making them a drink, talking to them etc.
