What is the Volunteer to Career (VtC) programme?
North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust has partnered with Inspira, leading employability experts providing free professional careers advice and guidance across Cumbria, to deliver the Volunteer to Career Programme.
The programme is funded from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is therefore only open to applicants who reside in the Cumberland Council boundary.

Volunteers should be able to commit for at least 60 hours over a minimum of 7 months, be over 18 years old, have the right to work in the UK, and be ready to go through recruitment checks and training requirements. On successful completion of the programme, you will be interviewed to join our Bank Register as a Casual Catering Assistant.
