Volunteer With Us
Make a difference by giving the gift of time
Every day we provide accommodation and support for up to 80 patients and their families – and we can’t do this alone.
We have an incredible team of volunteers who give their time to the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust, Rānui House and Rānui Apartments and we can’t thank them enough. Their gift of time contributes hugely in helping us provide our families a home-away-from-home.
Volunteer Openings Available Now:
We’re looking for more Angels in Aprons to join our Housekeeping volunteer team at Rānui and help us create a home-away-from-home for patients and their families when they need it most. This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety – you might be in the laundry, on the end of a vacuum cleaner or practicing your hospital corners bed-making. You’ll be working alongside others, pitch in where needed and bring a positive can-do attitude all they while being guided by our Head Housekeeper Julie-anne. If this sounds like you please sign up using the form below and Gary our Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch to have a chat.

The fine print – we will ask for character references as part of Volunteer enrolment, we prefer your referees not to be family members, past or present employers are preferred. All members of our team are required to complete a NZ Police Check.
