Volunteers assist in all our hospitals and make all the difference to our patients during their stay; they are also enormously helpful to our staff and a valuable part of the hospital team.
Working as a hospital volunteer can help you learn important new skills, find out about healthcare, meet new people and contribute to your local community.
Hospital volunteers help with activities such as:
* Assisting on help desks and as hospital guides - greeting patients and visitors
* Supporting staff in non-clinical areas
* Gardening
* Talking with patients on various wards
* Bookstall
* Assisting with mealtimes
Volunteer placements are allocated during discussion with the Voluntary Services Team and the volunteer, and will depend on volunteer choice, aptitude and skills, and role vacancies.
Each one of us contributes to the care of patients. Whether our role is to provide direct patient care or to support our colleagues who provide that care, we are all here for the same purpose.
