Clinic Volunteer - Northgate Hospital

Volunteers will offer assistance to the clinician at the Leg Ulcer Clinic, helping with basic patient needs and providing practical help.

Tasks may vary but are likely to include:

• Helping less mobile patients to remove coats and shoes
• Fetching and refilling stock
• Supporting clinic nurses to keep the room and equipment clean

This role offers volunteers the opportunity to gain experience in a healthcare setting, as well as to contribute to improving patients' experience.

Shifts are available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday subject to availability, either 8.30am-1pm/ 1.30pm-4.30pm with a suggested commitment of one shift a week. Shorter sessions can also be agreed if preferred.

Once we've received your application form, we'll get in touch with you to organise a welcome phone call. This is an informal chat to find out a bit more about you and so that you can learn a bit more about the role.

If following the welcome call you want to progress your application we'll then carry out our recruitment checks and you'll be asked to sign up to a half day induction training session (this takes place in Lowestoft)

You'll be asked to provide the names of two non family members who can provide a character reference and we will carry out a Standard Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If you have previous convictions these will not necessarily prevent you from volunteering and we would still welcome your application. We assess any criminal record disclosures on a case by case basis and you will be supported through the application process by a volunteer coordinator.
