Volunteer With Us
Volunteer meaning – ‘willing or of one’s own choice’
We place immense value on the generous gifts of time Volunteers offer to the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust, Rānui and Rānui Apartments. Every day we provide accommodation and support for up to 69 patients and their families – and we can’t do this alone. Volunteers contribute hugely in helping us to provide our home-away-from-home. We are looking for new Volunteers to join our team and lend a helping hand – sound like you? Then apply to join our team!
Volunteering roles on offer at Rānui Apartments
Gardening Heroes – Rānui Apartments opened in late November 2024 and we are looking for a couple of warm, open and empathetic people to help us keep our grounds looking beautiful. You will have a natural ability to relate well to people be they a patient, family member, or one of our team. Loads of initiative, a sense of humour and bright outlook on life in general along with a strong work ethic will see you fit in with our team well. Our gardens are still very new and we wish to ensure we take really good care of them as the families we serve enjoy our green spaces immensely.
Duties to include: –
General gardening duties – watering, weeding, sweeping paths clear
Lawn mowing
Trimming and rose pruning
Girl/Boy Friday – our front of house team always appreciate an extra pair of hands and help to make families feel welcome, you could be helping out in reception, showing new families to their apartments, answering the telephone, running parcels to rooms, organising drop-in donations, updating the database, tidying up the storeroom … the list is long, varied and no one day is the same!
Angels in Aprons – our Head Housekeeper is keen to meet volunteers who are available in the afternoon from around 4.00pm for a couple of hours to help in the laundry – if this sounds like you please get in touch.
These volunteer roles are available both weekends or weekdays, just let us know what suits you – guaranteed you will meet some super people and have a whole lot of fun.
Please complete the form below and our volunteer coordinator will be in touch within the next 72 hours, thanks for thinking of us!
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. If you are happy with both of these points and give your consent for us to contact you directly please sign up using the form below. We will be back in touch within 72 hours.
