Charity seeks nail technicians

The charity’s volunteers provide complimentary nail treatments and hand massages for patients at Craigavon Area Hospital while they wait for their cancer treatment - but the charity needs more helping hands because the service is so popular.

Susan Johnston, lead nail bar volunteer with Cancer Focus NI, said: “It means so much for people to get some time away from their treatment and forget about being in hospital for a while - and with your help more patients can enjoy our nail bar experience.

“Volunteers are an invaluable part of our service and this role also offers you the opportunity to gain additional work experience while supporting people dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

“It’s so satisfying when patients tell me how much better they feel in themselves after a session and feedback from nursing staff is always excellent. As well as treatments for women, we also offer hand massages and nail care advice to men – everyone deserves some time out and pampering.”

Volunteers must have NVQ level 2 beauty therapy and you can find out more about this role by contacting Morag or Sam on 9066 3281 or email [email protected].
