You will be buddied up with an existing volunteer to be a welcoming and friendly face for patients/visitors attending the hospital, and support staff in ensuring that patients receive nutrition in a timely and comfortable way.  As well as helping to enhance the patients experience, you will also develop new skills and gain valuable experience volunteering in a clinical environment in front-facing role.

Our Voluntary Workforce

The Newcastle Hospitals Trust values the involvement of local people as volunteers in activities that enhance the patient, visitor and carer experience, and also support staff in delivering high quality health care.

Your offer of voluntary help is very much appreciated, and you will receive a warm welcome no matter which area of volunteering you choose. 

Without our volunteers, we wouldn't be able to deliver the 'outstanding' care and service that we do today.
