Launch of the NHS volunteering website
NHS England has launched a website allowing prospective volunteers to find and apply for NHS and partner volunteering opportunities in their area using a simple postcode search.
As recommended by the NHS Volunteering Taskforce, NHS England has committed to increasing access to health and care volunteering opportunities by simplifying the recruitment process and enhancing the volunteer experience.
In creating the NHS Volunteering website, there is now a single front door to volunteering across healthcare. This will make it easier for people to learn about health-related volunteering and give their time in support of the NHS and our voluntary sector partners.
The site is free and easy to use for both recruiters and potential volunteers, built with digital accessibility in mind and shaped by extensive user research. Recruiting organisations can post role adverts directly on the site and opt to either receive applications via a simple contact form or integrate the site into their existing recruitment tools.
To find out how your organisation can recruit volunteers through NHS Volunteering, contact the service team.
