Volunteering

What You'll Do

All sorts of people get involved in many ways. Whether you are interested in patient visiting, technical, fundraising, producing content off air, helping out with administration, and, oh yes, the final link in the chain, presenting radio programmes, there's always something exciting to contribute to!

What Happens Next?

So, you've applied, you've met with us, you want to be part of the team, we want you to be part of the team, what happens next? Voluntary Services will then be in touch to process your application. This includes a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (previously known as CRB) due to the nature of work that we undertake within hospitals and other parts of the NHS. If, for whatever reason you don't consent to a DBS check we won't be able to process your application to join.

Do I Get Paid?

Everybody is a volunteer and we understand that personal life can influence your volunteer commitments, but we do ask that everyone gets involved in at least four fundraising events a year. All our volunteers are unpaid but we don’t think that volunteering should leave you out of pocket so we take part in a scheme where travel expenses are reimbursed by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The Membership Officer can give you details of how to make a claim.
