We have a variety of patient-facing and administrative roles available.
You do not require any qualifications and any necessary training will be given. All volunteers must be 16 or over and are subject to a satisfactory disclosure from the Disclosure Barring Service check (DBS) which we will arrange.
We are very proud that we are able to offer students a volunteer experience that will benefit them in their choice of career in medicine or nursing. Students that volunteer with us have the chance to experience a clinical environment and see the workings of a hospital and they will also get the opportunity to interact with patients and staff including consultants and nurses.
Patient Journey Support
The Patient Journey Support role involves offering support and assistance to our patients. This can mean chatting to them about their operation and recovery, helping to unpack belongings and ensuring they are comfortable in their room. All these things make a great deal of difference to how our patients feel prior to surgery.
We are happy to consider volunteers aged 16 or over but you must have a mature attitude to fit the role. We try to be as flexible as we can around school and college life offering times in the evenings and at weekends, but we would ask that you are sure you can commit to a volunteer role with us before you apply.
Please contact us at volunteers@horder.co.uk to discuss opportunities further.
