Applying here demonstrates your expression of interest for more information. There will be a seperate process to apply for the specific opportunity you wish to take up.
From June 2025, we will be recruiting new NHS volunteers every month, rather than 3 times a year.
This will mean that there will be fewer roles available at any one time, but also that you won’t have long to wait until the next roles will be available, so if one month you don’t see a role that you’d really like to do, please do check next month- we manage a diverse range of roles across our clinical and non-clinical services so it is worth waiting until there’s a role that is a great match for your interests, skills and experience.
Roles will be open for applications from 1st of every month to 18th.
