Description
Do you enjoy being part of a team? Are you a people person who enjoys working with people from all walks of life and ages?


Our Trust values the contribution of the hundreds of volunteers who make such a difference to the people who use our services, giving their time and often their expertise across all sectors of the Trust, from acute and community hospitals to community settings.


The Volunteer Service is responsible for ensuring that their recruitment and training meets NHS guidelines, but also for ensuring that volunteers are supported, their views are taken into consideration, and that they feel valued.

We work closely with managers across the Trust to develop new roles and opportunities when they arise.


We aim to work closely with the voluntary sector to ensure a 'whole community' approach to volunteering, supporting people who wish to undertake volunteering as a stepping-stone to employment, and being inclusive of those who may find it harder to obtain opportunities such as people with learning disabilities, mental health issues, or previous substance misuse issues.

The volunteer coordinator role is the key to the successful running of the service, supported by the team administrator.

This role will include supporting young volunteers aged 16-25 while the present postholder is on maternity leave and particular project work.

Initially 10 months and could be extended or possibility to be made permanent.
