Volunteering at ESNEFT
Volunteers play an important role at ESNEFT. They enhance services across all our sites to help improve the experience of the hospital for patients, visitors and staff.
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities. For most you do not need any previous experience. We offer support and training before you start.
The main qualities we are looking for are great people skills, some initiative and the availability to give us a regular commitment.
Why volunteer with ESNEFT?
The ESNEFT philosophy is “Time Matters”.
By volunteering you are giving your time to make a difference to our patients and staff. Volunteers enable us to do more through time spent with patients. Volunteers create extra capacity within our teams.
Everyone has their own reason for volunteering and it has to be a two-way exchange. Some of the main reasons people volunteer with us are:
- giving something back to their community
- helping patients, their families, friends and staff
- making use of their skills and sometimes learning new ones
- meeting new and interesting people from all backgrounds and making new friends
- being part of the team of volunteers and the department they volunteer with
- improving their CV – volunteering does not offer any short cuts into paid employment, but it can significantly help when applying for jobs or university courses
- doing something different and using their spare time
