About the young volunteers programme
Our young volunteers get valuable experience in a hospital environment, develop a lot of interpersonal skills and confidence in a workplace. They also meet other young people and interact with and connect with people in their wider community by volunteering in their local hospital.
Many of our volunteers are keen to pursue careers in the healthcare sector, while others want to give back to their local hospital. While volunteering with us, young volunteers have access to training and development opportunities provided by the hospital and the charity.
We offer a selection of defined roles for younger people across our three hospital sites. All of our roles are carefully risk assessed and a comprehensive induction is provided before a volunteer starts. They also receive supervision from our young volunteer coordinator who will be their main point of contact in the charity while they are volunteering
