Main duties of the job

Why volunteer?

People volunteer with us for many reasons. Most often as a way of giving something back to their community, knowing that they have helped patients, their carers and family when they are feeling at their most vulnerable.

All out of pocket expenses will be covered as an active volunteer including opportunities in training and development.

If you are unable to attend either of the events and are still interested in volunteering, you can email rdash.volunteers@nhs.net and we can discuss what opportunities may be available for you.

****** PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS THROUGH TRAC JOBS AND ALL POSTS ARE FACE TO FACE NOT REMOTE. *******
