The purpose of the role is to provide adaptive therapeutic massage to patients under referral from clinical teams, at the Chase Farm site within step-down, rehabilitation and chemotherapy infusion suite settings, supporting patients' comfort, relaxation, and well-being during recovery.
Unlike many complementary therapy roles, this position offers the best of both worlds.
The two-day-per-week structure provides the security and satisfaction of working within a respected healthcare setting while allowing you the flexibility to continue building and maintaining your private practice. For therapists who value variety and professional independence, this role offers an ideal balance that may not be possible in a full-time position.
You will also gain experience that is difficult to find elsewhere, delivering massage to patients within a busy hospital setting. This provides a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people's wellbeing while developing specialist skills and experience in healthcare.
Key objectives and responsibilities of the post are:
· Provide gentle adaptive therapeutic touch to support relaxation and well-being
· Set the highest possible standards of care, respecting cultural preferences, touch, and privacy
· To ensure robust clinical pathways, assessments and review processes are followed, maintaining appropriate clinical records/document sessions as per policy
· Demonstrate safe delivery of best clinical practice
· Contribute to the development of evidence-based practice and be involved with research and case studies, where appropriate
· Assist senior CTS therapist NM & CF (Finchley) in the induction and mentoring of volunteers.
· Strict adhered to infection prevention
· Protocols the immediate escalation of adverse reactions
· Liaise closely with the nursing and medical team
· Be aware of current developments within complementary therapy
· Ensure sensitive information is managed in accordance with GDPR, Safeguarding and confidentiality policies and guidance
· Always maintain confidentiality, which includes patients, relatives, staff and volunteers
· Monitor and maintain the complementary therapy stock and ensure oils and equipment are stored safely and correctly
The team
Patient support brings together volunteering, complementary therapy, and wider charity patient-facing support into one integrated, site-based team at each of the four main hospital sites. Each hospital has a dedicated “charity space” with a core team that works together to provide a consistent, responsive, and easy‑to‑navigate offer for patients and families. Patient support site managers work closely with NHS site teams to ensure support reflects the clinical needs and demographics of each hospital. Volunteering and therapy roles are embedded locally rather than operating as separate teams, enabling continuity, flexibility, and equitable provision. A small central social rights and benefits team provides targeted, discharge‑focused advice for financially vulnerable patients. Patient support delivered via the charity is designed to be clear, collaborative and patient‑centred, with charity staff working as one team to deliver high‑quality support tailored to each site.
Organisation
The Royal Free Charity stands at the threshold of its most important period of development.
Our vision is for everyone served by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust (RFL) to have access to world-leading healthcare, delivered by a thriving workforce, and driven by medical research that has a global impact. We support the 17,000 staff of the RFL and their two million patients across Barnet, Chase Farm, North Mid and Royal Free hospitals and more than 30 NHS services.
Through the services we provide and the programmes and equipment we fund, we make a profound and immediate difference to patients’ experiences of care.
