Thank you for your interest in volunteering at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
Due to the nature of pre-volunteering checks required for the majority of our roles, we ask volunteers to be available for around three hours a week for six months in recognition of the time invested by you and us ahead of you starting in an agreed role (you can of course volunteer for longer).
Background checks may vary from role to role, and may include taking up suitable references, identity checks, DBS (criminal record) checks and occupational health checks - please enquire about the level of checks required for any roles you may be interested in applying for, as we are happy to advise you in advance of any application.
Please also be aware that we can only accept applications from those who are resident in the UK and live within a 15 mile radius from the hospital.
All new volunteers are also required to take part in our induction process, which includes undertaking a set level of statutory and mandatory training before commencing any role and we provide comprehensive advice and support to all of our volunteers in achieving their this.
Our vision and values
Our vision is to work with our partners at the leading edge of healthcare for the benefit of our patients.
This means we must unite behind our mission to be better every day because we know that there is always the opportunity to improve our services.
We are a centre of clinical academic excellence where new treatments are being discovered, new healthcare professionals are being trained and cutting edge developments are being put into practice.
As a Trust we work to three core values; patients first, working together and always improving.
