What training and support will I be given? Expand Whatever volunteer role you choose to take on, we will give you all the training and support you need to feel comfortable in your work. All fundraising volunteers have a staff member who they can go to for help and support.
What skills and experience do I need? Expand Some of our volunteering opportunities require you to have particular skills but these are clearly stated in the role profiles. The majority do not require you to have any experience or specialist skills and we will provide all the training and information you need.
How much time do I have to give? Expand This can vary to suit you. We will let you know what opportunities are coming up, when and how much time it will take and you can sign up to volunteer.
How old do I need to be to volunteer? Expand To volunteer you must be at least 16 years of age. Volunteers aged 16 or 17-years-old will need written consent from their parent or guardian.
Can I volunteer within the hospital? Expand Yes, you can volunteer in our hospital but this is not something that we organise. You will need to contact the hospital volunteer service. Email: [email protected] Tel: 0121 333 9999 extension 6726.
Will I have to be interviewed? Expand Our volunteering opportunities do not require a formal interview. We will ask you to complete an application form to enable us to offer you a suitable opportunity. An informal meet and greet session will then be arranged to discuss the service and opportunities further.
Will I get my expenses paid? Expand Unfortunately, our volunteers do not receive any payment for their work however we are able to reimburse travel expenses if required. Please get in touch with our Volunteer Co-ordinator if you would like to discuss further.
