Telephone: 01392 402080

When you contact us please leave your contact details so that we can send you an application form to complete, including providing two referees who will contact to provide a reference for you. You will also need to complete an Immunisation and Vaccination Questionnaire, Health Declaration and Risk Assessment to determine if it is safe for you to volunteer within the hospital environment. 

Once this has been approved we will contact you to arrange an interview with the Volunteer Lead.

If you are successful at your interview, you will be asked to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS). Please be aware this is an online process. You will need to supply information and personal identification documents for this process i.e. passport / driving licence / utility bill.

When all the checks have been completed and are satisfactory, you will be asked to attend Trust Induction when you will be asked to sign a Volunteer Code of Practice Agreement and a Covid19 Declaration form. You will also need to complete online mandatory training before beginning your volunteering role.
