Can you spare 4 hours a week?
Are you friendly, caring and a good listener? Are you able to approach people to offer help?
We are looking for volunteers Monday to Friday 8.30-12.30 or 12.30-4.30pm.
Our volunteers are an invaluable part of the hospital team so come and join us and make a difference
The role is reactive to the needs of the hospital and will involve working across various departments. You will be advised daily as to what tasks you will be required to undertake but could involve running errands for departments, being a driver for the indoor buggy or the discharge car (full UK driving licence required and 3 years’ experience) or taking the Brew Buddy out.
Volunteers cannot replace the role of a paid employee and this is not a work placement.
Northampton General Hospital is one of the largest employers in the area and we are on an exciting journey. All of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and become University Hospitals of Northamptonshire.
