Blackpool Hospital Volunteer
5 days ago
We have a team of staff based at Blackpool Victoria Hospital who will talk you through your role, make sure you are comfortable with your surroundings and will be on hand to answer any questions or concerns you may have while you are a volunteer.
All volunteers will complete a six week trial as an opportunity for them to check if they will enjoy volunteering, and for us to assess the suitability of their voluntary role. At all times volunteers will be expected to:
Participate in appropriate training required by the Trust, the Voluntary Services Department and the respective area;
Promote a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere;
Offer a smile to everyone and engage in friendly and appropriate conversation with those people who would like to talk;
Demonstrate respect and sensitivity to all individuals, ensuring confidentiality is maintained at all times;
Refer individuals to the appropriate member of staff where necessary;
Engage in any other appropriate activity under the guidance and support of a member of staff.
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is ideally situated just a forty five minute drive from Manchester. The Trust provides services to the 440,000 residents of Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre and North Lancashire, as well as specialist tertiary care for Cardiac and Haematology patients.
As one of the United Kingdom’s largest coastal resort, Blackpool has plenty to offer its residents - it’s not just a good place to work; it’s a great place to live. In addition to its bustling centre and historic seafront, the town is world famous for its many attractions, including the famous Blackpool Tower. Blackpool also offers a number of scenic cycling routes round our local parks and across the surrounding countryside, as well as boasting panoramic views of the coast on its picturesque Promenade. Further afield, Blackpool also benefits from less than three-hour connections via rail to Edinburgh in the north and London in the south.
We also like to say thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication in a variety of ways; we invite all of our volunteers to social activities held throughout the year and we put on a special recognition ceremony to honour all the people who give up their time to help our hospital staff and patients.
