Volunteer Services, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust

Our student volunteer programme is an excellent opportunity for sixth form and college students to regularly volunteer on a busy ward helping ward staff and patients at mealtimes. This is especially useful for any student considering a career in healthcare or hoping to study medicine at university.

We also offer the opportunity for students to volunteer within our dedicated Friends Shop.

Students will be required to commit to 50 hours volunteering (at least a two hour session once a week, until 50 hours are completed). This allows students to become a valuable member of the ward team, giving them an immersive and rewarding volunteer experience, while avoiding students having to volunteer during their school exams. 

We offer approximately 30 placements a year. You must be aged 16+. Apply now!
