Volunteers are a much valued part of the trust as they work alongside and assist our staff in providing and maintaining high quality care for our patients.
Our team of volunteers contribute to the success of a patient’s rehabilitation and their general wellbeing as well as providing important social contact to both patients and their families. The support of our volunteers is essential and helps us in so many ways.
Have you considered volunteering?
If you have spare time and want to do something meaningful? There are many benefits to volunteering such as:
- Gain work experience in a hospital or clinical setting
- Build up your Curriculum vitae (CV)
- Great way to meet new people
- Give something back to your local community
There are a number of various roles available for anyone interested in joining our team, from being a ward visitor where you spend time with our patients talking to them, or perhaps reading or playing cards, to offering administrative help to a service.
If you wish to join our volunteering programme, please familarise yourself with our recruitment process and then apply to volunteer.
It is a great way to get involved in the community
