Become a volunteer

Whether you would like to give something back, make new friends, enhance your existing skills or learn something about a career in the NHS, there are so many benefits to volunteering with us.

Coming into hospital can be a stressful and worrying time, and having people around who can offer support, read stories to children, show families around or greet them at the door can make a huge difference to their journey and experience with us.

Our volunteer service is integral to providing an outstanding patient experience in our world-leading hospitals, through enhancing the lives of patients, staff and communities. We welcome confident, friendly independent volunteers from age 16 with good communication skills.

We provide a friendly, welcoming environment, full training, travel expenses, social events and regular newsletters. You provide the personality, passion, character and fun.
