Volunteers play a huge part in supporting the delivery of care to the many people who use our services. We have a diverse number of volunteer roles which match the diversity of communities that we serve. Staff, patients, carers and volunteers themselves gain a lot of value from being an integral part of our teams.
You can play a very important part by helping us enhance the quality of care to our patients and supporting our staff.

Most volunteering takes place Monday to Friday during working hours, although some befriending opportunities and helping on the wards are available at weekends and in the early evenings. We do ask for a commitment of six months although there may be other opportunities to volunteer for a shorter period subject to availability.
We have a number of services within SCFT and charitable organisation who recruit volunteers directly. For more information please see our list of services and charitable opportunities.
Our service is signed up to The Disability Action Alliance Volunteer Charter.
