Volunteering
Volunteers play an important role in our trust by providing additional services to our patients and supporting our work in a variety of ways.
People volunteer for lots of different reasons. For instance, they may be wanting to use their free time in an enjoyable and positive way, to 'give something back’ to a service which has helped them or someone they know, to share their knowledge and experience, to meet new people or to gain valuable experience for work or further education.
Because most roles will involve contact with vulnerable adults, our volunteers must be able to provide two character references, pass a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, an occupational health check (drivers only) and be prepared to undergo relevant training.
The volunteer services co-ordinators can help you find the right volunteer placement. You can view a full list of our volunteer roles here
