Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust

Lancashire & South Cumbria Foundation Trust recognise and value the importance volunteer support is to us and our patients. Volunteering is usually a longer term commitment (for example 9 – 12 months) and on consistent days and times, e.g. Tuesday from 9am to 1pm

The post holder would provide a voluntary hairdressing service for some of our inpatients at Guild Lodge in Whittingham. The volunteer hairdresser will only cut service user’s hair.

This will take place in the dedicated Barbers Shop at The Guild with equipment and products being provided. A volunteer will be supported by a member of staff at all times and a full security induction will be provided. As this is a volunteer role, we can only pay travel expenses and cannot make any payment in respect of time given.

Volunteers must be 18 and over for this and an Enhanced DBS will be applied for. There is no charge to a volunteer for a DBS application.

Essential requirements for this role are:

• Good communication skills.
• An interest in Mental Health
• Fully qualified hairdresser or barber with appropriate hairdresser’s insurance.
• Ability to follow instructions
• Comply with all Trust Policies and Procedures in relation to information governance and confidentially
