Why Volunteer

As a volunteer you will help provide support to patients, their families and staff. Our volunteers help in both clinical and non-clinical areas of the hospital. Volunteers meet and greet visitors, sit with patients at mealtimes, support staff on all wards including maternity & children’s wards where there are specific roles. Volunteers help with administrative tasks and undertake reception roles which support staff as well as patients.

All voluntary positions have a role description and specialist training is also arranged, where appropriate. We want you to be supported and comfortable in your role.
