Build confidence, develop skills and get insight into healthcare; expenses are reimbursed, with subsidised lunch available when you volunteer for over four hours during the lunch period.
Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust’s volunteering service offers members of the local community the chance to support staff, patients and services across the Trust. Volunteers help to complement the work of employed staff, bringing enthusiasm, different skills and a valuable contribution to the people who use the services, visitors and staff.
The role is designed to build confidence, develop skills and provide insight into the NHS, which can be especially useful if you are considering a career in healthcare. Volunteering can also strengthen a CV by showing initiative, and it gives people the opportunity to give something back to their community.
The Trust says volunteers can give as much time as they are able, although half a day to one day per week is suggested as a starting point depending on the role. The recruitment process usually takes four to six weeks and includes DBS clearance, health checks and references.
Volunteering expenses are reimbursed, and subsidised lunch is available for those volunteering over four hours during the lunch period.
