What you will do

As a volunteer you can:

• visit and comfort patients and help with small tasks and errands
• help patients arriving for appointments
• help our staff with ward activities and hospital events
• fundraise to help buy items for our hospitals.

We also welcome volunteer hospital chaplains who provide spiritual care to everyone at our hospitals.

Volunteer roles aren't work experience, but you’ll discover a lot about how our hospital and health services work.

We'll train and support you on your volunteer journey.

As a volunteer, you’ll become part of our caring, flexible, and committed team.

To join you’ll need to fill in an application form and:

• be 18 or over
