Here is a list of activities other HAH services have used to optimise innovative volunteer roles in HAH.
- Involving volunteers in non-clinical activities of HAH (e.g. shopping, befriending, ‘sitting in’ to relieve the carer)
- Recruit young volunteers with a view to have ‘work experience’ in a care setting, which may then inform future career choices
- Seeking out advanced clinical practitioners as volunteers (e.g. trained counsellors acting as volunteers)
