Volunteer With Us

It's great that you want to be part of our team! 

Donating your time makes a massive difference to the Hospital, to our patients and their visitors, to our staff and the local community. It will also make a difference to your life. Volunteering in a busy environment like a hospital can be exciting and very rewarding, and we want you to enjoy being part of our team. We have volunteers in our acute hospital, our community hospitals and those that support people in their own homes. We will support you to make sure you are properly trained and have a named point of contact while you are with us.

You’ll make new friends and meet and work with people from all walks of life, helping you to learn new skills and gain new experience. Our volunteers tell us that volunteering helps them grow in confidence and, if you are looking for work, volunteering is a great way to show potential employers that you are reliable, as well as committed to work and training.

Best of all, volunteering improves your health. Studies have concluded that people who volunteer live longer, have better brain function and lower rates of depression than those who don’t.

We recruit our volunteers in two cohorts throughout the year, one in Summer and one in Winter.

We’ve been delighted by the high number of applications received during our Winter recruitment cohort, and all volunteer roles have now been filled. As a result, recruitment has closed earlier than planned.

If you’ve already applied, we’ll be in touch shortly about next steps. If not, we’ll share more information about our Summer cohort in Spring 2026. Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us - please do look at the pages of our Third-Party Organisations as they may be looking for volunteers.
