Basic filing of nails and applying nail polish

Helping clients who are going through a cancer diagnosis to feel good about themselves or it may be around a special occasion.

What additional skills or experience you should have

We would like to ensure that volunteers who work with our clients fully understand and appreciate the issues that are important to our clients. As such we normally ask that volunteers have had some personal or family experience of cancer or have the attributes and empathy to work with cancer patients. If you have had personal or family experience of cancer, we would suggest a time gap of one year minimum.

What training we will provide for you

We have an induction process when you join the Chai team.

What you will get out of volunteering for us

Being part of a wonderful charity that helps cancer patients feel better about themselves.

Charity Chai Cancer Care

Chai Cancer Care is the Jewish community's national cancer support organisation, enabling patients, family and friends to manage the impact of a cancer diagnosis. We provide expert physical, emotional and practical support delivered with care and sensitivity, and in complete confidence.

Chai Cancer Care provides an extensive range of specialised support services that include counselling, complementary and physical therapies, advocacy and advice, group and social activities. It is available for individuals, couples, families, friends, work colleagues, teens and children from as young as three.

We have 11 centres across the UK with our flagship centre in Hendon, North West London. Clients who cannot come to a Chai centre because they are recovering from surgery, currently undergoing treatment or are too unwell, can still benefit from our expertise and care through our Home Support Service.

We can reach anybody who needs us - nationally and internationally - through our counselling and advisory services, also available via telephone and Skype.
