Aim of Volunteer Orientation:

We want all our volunteers to enjoy and learn from high quality, relevant and engaging online training to support your development as committed and capable members of the Mary Potter Hospice team. Our volunteers must be informed, prepared and empowered to confidently and enthusiastically start their role.

Online Orientation is the first part of a productive volunteer training programme – on the job training will be lead by Volunteer Team Leaders.

Who is it for?

All volunteers who are new to Mary Potter Hospice as well as existing volunteers who may wish to undergo refresher training on specific topics.

What will you learn?

At the completion of Online Orientation you will have explored:

  • our history, vision and values
  • our services and who we support
  • our culture, policies and procedures
  • how your own role is vital to our purpose.

You will also be guided to some additional online resources to use.

How you might apply your learning from Online Orientation will differ from role to role, we invite you to reflect on how each session is relevant to your own mahi. Lots of information will be shared, so please take notes if that helps you to remember key points and please take some time to reflect on your learning after each session.

Course Timeframe

It is expected that Online Orientation will take approximately four hours to complete.

This can be done in one sitting however you may choose to self-pace your learning and break it up over several sessions to fit better with your own life commitments. You can begin and resume Online Orientation at any time.

We request that you complete the Online course before attending a face to face session when the information will be discussed and expanded on, and you will be able to ask any questions that have arisen during your online learning. This is a fantastic and fun opportunity for us to get to know you and for you to connect with other volunteers.

The Volunteer Services Team will let you know when the next face to face session will be held.

Thank you for gifting your time and talents to Mary Potter Hospice.
