What will you be doing?
Retail Volunteers are needed in our shops, cafés and trolley services to sell items such as food, drinks and hygiene products to patients, visitors and staff in our hospital or health care centre shops. We also have roles behind the scenes. Being in hospital or visiting friends and family can be a difficult time so volunteers will also be a friendly and compassionate point of contact for customers.
You'll need to have a friendly personality and good communication and listening skills. This is an ideal opportunity if you want to make new friends and develop your skills and experience in a hospital and retail environment. We also have opportunities available for people with specific skills so please tell us what your strengths are when we meet.
Please note: not all roles are suitable for under 18s
