Please take time to explore our webpage to find out about volunteering in our Trust.

 

Volunteering is a way of becoming more involved in your local community and the hospital. Volunteers are placed across the Trust, participating in a variety of ways all contributing to improving the patient experience. They are an integral part of the Trust and are highly valued by staff, patients, service users and visitors.

We had a number of updates for Volunteer Week in June 2024.

First up in the celebration was the news that, we’re proud to have again achieved the Investing in Volunteers Award from the UK Volunteering Forum.

Listen to our podcast released for Volunteer’s Week and hear from two of our volunteers, Eleanor and Katlo who speak with passion about how they love their role within the Emergency Department in Craigavon and the Daisy Ward in Daisy Hill and how their contribution makes a huge difference to our staff, patients and visitors.

To become a Trust Volunteer please contact us for more details or apply using the registration form. We ask that you commit to at least one year volunteering, so we can develop a long-lasting and meaningful role for you.

Volunteers do not carry out (or shadow) clinical work or short-term work experience placements. You can find out more about Work Experience and Placements by clicking HERE. For these placements contact placements@southerntrust.hscni.net

Volunteers in the Southern Trust enhance the quality of care or service provided to service users.  Our team of volunteers provide extra support to patients, just as friends or family members might do, making the service users’ experience more comfortable and a little friendlier for everyone.
