We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities across both hospital and community settings. Roles include welcoming and supporting patients, families, and visitors, helping colleagues with tasks, providing refreshments as well as organising ward activities and events. We are always developing new roles, so if you feel inspired and have some unique skills and experience that you would like to put to good use, we can look to develop a role to suit. To become a volunteer, you will need to:
- Be aged 18 or over
