Volunteer
Interested in volunteering?
Our volunteers are amazing. From meeting and greeting to helping our patients eat, they’re a lovely, caring bunch from all walks of life who make sure our patients have the very best experience while in hospital.
Our volunteers are great because they each bring their unique experience
Volunteering with us is incredibly rewarding and makes a huge difference to our patients and staff. With roles in public-facing areas, administration or even in the garden, we’ve got opportunities for everyone to feel warm and fuzzy inside. More information about the roles we offer and how to apply can be found on our volunteering roles page.
The minimum age to volunteer is 18, however you can visit our work experience page to learn more about the opportunities available for young people.
Volunteers must not assist with anything of a medical nursing nature, read patients’ medical files or share this information, assist with cleaning duties of any kind or repair any item of equipment. As a volunteer you are in a position of trust this should never be abused or used to advantage yourself or disadvantage a patient.
Volunteer feedback
I've only been volunteering at Queen's for a short while but I can already see how kind the people are and the warm environment that they've created here.
Everybody treats me kindly no matter if they're ward sisters, other volunteers, nurses or doctors and this is a huge testament to how wonderful the people in this hospital are!
The patients are full of spirit even though they're fighting the hardest battles! I like to put a smile on their face and they always put a smile on mine! I'm very happy volunteering at Queen's!
