Volunteering

‘Volunteering is the commitment of time and energy, for the benefit of society and the community, the environment, or individuals outside one’s immediate family. It is undertaken freely and without concern for financial gain.’

“We are indebted to our volunteers for the value that they bring and the difference they make to the life of the Trust; they are a vital part of the Trust family.”, Chairman, Jonathan Patton.

We are fortunate to have over 350 volunteers working alongside our staff in our hospitals and community facilities. The involvement of volunteers has enhanced our services improving the patient/client experience of health and social care services across the South Eastern Trust.

  • We welcome volunteers from 16 years old
  • Experience is not always essential as training and support is provided
  • We help you find the right volunteer role, that suits your abilities and interests and give you the experience you are looking for
  • We have a wide variety of volunteer roles with different client groups based across the Trust area

The volunteer roles we offer provide opportunities to build confidence, develop skills and gain experience to improve career prospects.

Our volunteer roles also enable those who wish to help others to give something back to their community.

Volunteering allows you to meet new people, develop friendships and have fun!
