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.
Our volunteers report 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
- Staying active
- Having a sense of purpose
We are extremely fortunate to have so many wonderful people interested in volunteering at the hospital with our roles fully subscribed and our recruitment is currently closed.
It is a great way to get involved in the community
We are currently closed to new applications
