Additional information
All charity volunteer roles are required to seek Disclosure and Barring Services clearance (DBS). This check is designed to assist the Trust in making safe decisions around volunteer recruitment. Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent an applicant becoming a volunteer; any applicant with a criminal record should inform volunteer services, who will risk assess each case on an individual basis. There will be no cost for this standard DBS check.
Volunteers will receive training and support from the ELHT&Me team and all tasks will be undertaken by mutual agreement.
Please come and be part of an amazing charity supporting over half a million patients, 9,000 staff, volunteers and all of their families. Volunteering enquiries may be made by contacting Lynn Hackett, Volunteer Coordinator, telephone number: 01254 732500 or via email: lynn.hackett@elht.nhs.uk.
We love to celebrate our incredible volunteer team and have regular social gatherings to say thank you.
