Volunteers wanted - Birmingham

Freshwinds is a charity in Birmingham offering complementary therapies to adults and children with life threatening and life limiting illnesses. We are well recognised and respected for this work, as evidenced by the referrals we get from a variety of health care professionals / organisations. We follow an Integrated Medicine model of care -- safely combining the complementary therapies with the conventional treatments the person is already receiving.

We rely on qualified volunteer therapists to provide this valuable service. Patient care is co-ordinated by Medical Officers within the charity. In return for their valued commitment, volunteer therapists have access to regular therapists meetings, which include a training/education component. Sometimes we also organise workshops for the therapists to aid in their continued professional development. The therapists also find it a rewarding and developing experience working in a multidisciplinary team with other therapists and medical officers, sharing knowledge and enhancing skills.
