Information
Volunteers are a part of the multi-disciplinary cancer care team and play a vital role in providing high-quality care and support; enhancing the experience of patients, family and friends during their cancer journey.
Due to COVID-19 the volunteer program at BC Cancer Vancouver is currently on hold and we are not currently accepting applications.
There are no educational prerequisites but compassionate, empathetic, non-judgmental individuals match our patients’ needs. Applicants must meet the following requirements
- Age 18 years and up
- Available during clinic hours (Monday to Friday, between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm)
- Willing to commit to one 3-4 hour shift a week for a minimum of 6 months
If you are a BC Cancer patient or have supported a loved one through cancer treatment recently, we recommend waiting one year following the end of treatment to submit an
application.
All applicants must complete the
application, interview and reference checks to be considered. Successful applicants will be invited to and must complete a basic training course and orientation.
