Volunteer Contract Agreement
Volunteers are an important valued part of the work of the North Middlesex University Hospital NHS
Trust and we hope you enjoy volunteering with us.
This agreement outlines what you can expect from us whilst volunteering and what we can hope
from you. This agreement is not a contract and the Trust has no intention to create a contractual
agreement between ourselves and the volunteer signatory. This agreement is binding in honour
only and is only intended to be a legally binding contract between us. It may be cancelled at any time
at the discretion of either party. Neither of us intends any employment relationship to be created
either now or at any time in the future.
You can expect the North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust to commit to:
- provide relevant training, support and information for you to carry out your volunteering role.
- communicate with you and keep you informed of possible changes.
- respect your skills, dignity and individual wishes and to do our best to meet them.
- provide insurance to cover you whilst volunteering within the duties of your role description.
- provide a safe workplace.
As a volunteer we expect you to:
- volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours per week for at least 6 months.
- perform your volunteering role to the best of your ability
- follow the Trust’s procedures and standards, including health and safety and equal opportunities, in relation to patients, public, staff and volunteers
- maintain the confidential information of the Trust and of its patients
- meet the time commitments and standards which have been mutually agreed to
- give reasonable notice if you are unable to attend your voluntary placement so alternative
arrangements can be made by the ward/department.
- inform the volunteer office when you decide to terminate your volunteering role.
