Do you want to help people affected by cancer?
We’re on the lookout for volunteers to become Oncology Hosts at Wellington Hospital and/or Kenepuru Hospital.
What’s an Oncology Host? They provide people with help and support to give them the most positive experience possible during their assessments, treatment and follow-up appointments.
In this role being compassionate and organised is key, but you will also have that extra ‘sixth sense’ and will know how to offer the right help at the right time; whether that’s a reassuring welcome, a well-timed cup of tea and chat, or helping clients connect with the right medical professional.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch! 💛

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
