Volunteering
We have
more than 250 volunteers who give up their time to work in a
broad range of roles across the hospital.
From volunteers who meet and greet patients
and visitors arriving at the hospital, to those who support our
staff in wards and departments, there are plenty of ways to get
involved when you become a volunteer.
Our volunteers are an incredibly valuable
asset – whatever the role, it makes a very real difference to our
patients.

questions and answers, what types of roles we have at the hospital
and also hear from our volunteers about their experience of
volunteering.
How to Apply
If you have any questions please email voluntary.services@poole.nhs.uk
If you would like to apply to become a volunteer, please
download and print the volunteer application
form, complete it and return to voluntary.services@poole.nhs.uk
Once we have received your application form,
we will contact you to arrange a short informal meeting, so that
you can find out more about volunteering and we can find out more
about you.
We will ask you to complete a health
questionnaire and a DBS form (if appropriate to the role) ,
and will take up two references from people who have known you over
two years (not a member of your family). This paperwork can take
around four-eight weeks to complete.
Once all the paperwork is completed, new
volunteers are invited to come in for an all-day induction and to
agree start dates.
