Before You Apply

These requirements help ensure that every volunteer is safe, supported and able to make a meaningful contribution within our hospitals. Please make sure you meet the following criteria before submitting an application.

• You must be aged 16 or over. Volunteers aged 16–17 may initially volunteer only Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00 to ensure appropriate support is available.

• We ask volunteers to commit to a regular weekly shift of 2–4 hours. For some roles, this will need to be at the same time or on the same day each week.

• You must be able to volunteer with us for a minimum of six months

Please note:

• We are not able to place every applicant, as availability varies across sites and roles.

• If your application is successful, a Volunteering Manager will contact you using the email address you provided.

• Please apply only once, as duplicate applications slow down the processing of your information.

If you do not hear from us within 8 weeks of submitting your application, please assume that on this occasion your application has been unsuccessful. We appreciate the time and interest shown by every applicant, and we encourage you to explore future opportunities as they become available.
