Please note how at present we are only able to accept applications from people who already meet our vaccination requirements i.e. having had MMR, TB and Chickenpox/varicella immunity.

This is due to very long waits of 3-4 months for Occupational Health to clear any applicants needing to have vaccinations before starting volunteering.

Important information about volunteering at UCLH

The types of role that we offer and their minimum commitments

We offer three main types of roles. As part of the application process, you will be asked to select one type of role you are most interested in. These roles are:

1. Ward-based roles supporting inpatients: We ask for a regular commitment of the same time/day each week for a minimum of 135 hours a year.

2. Roles supporting outpatients, and welcoming and guiding: We ask for a regular commitment of the same time/day each week for a minimum of 60 hours in half a year. 

3. More intensive inpatient support and administrative roles (1+ days per week): These are for a minimum of one to three days per week for three to six months. This equates to a minimum of 165 hours. These roles are particularly beneficial for people who are aged 18+ and actively seeking paid employment in the NHS in the next 4-6 months.

We have recently had a large number of applications for these more 'intensive' patient-facing and administrative roles, so we have paused recruitment for all these roles. Please check back soon to see when we have reopened recruitment.
 
 
                                                                                                                                                                 
 
 
                                                                                    YOUTH VOLUNTEERING
 

Youth volunteering: If you are aged 16-17 (or 18 if still in sixth form/college) we have a special youth volunteering programme offering a summer scheme, after school and weekend opportunities. The minimum age to volunteer is 16 

Applicants must live or study in the London Boroughs of Camden, Islington or Westminster, or be children of UCLH staff. All placements are for a minimum of three months. 

Recruitment for the youth programme is currently closed.  We are running an information session about our Summer Programme Saturday 8th March 11am-12.30pm. To receive the link to join, and to be notified of when recruitment opens please complete this form

 

Looking for work experience, internships, or clinical placements? We are sorry but UCLH does not have a programme where we accept applications for work experience placements for school age people aged 16+.  Instead, we only offer placements through partnerships with specific local schools. UCLH does not offer adult work experience. Although there is an overlap between volunteering and work experience, all our volunteer roles tend to be ongoing and longer term (3+ months). Roles are non-clinical and focused on improving our patient experience.

 

 

The process to becoming a volunteer at UCLH

                                                                                                                                                                                             

 

On average it takes 7 weeks for someone with a complete vaccination history to come through this process and start volunteering with us.
