Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) welcomes volunteer’s participation in many of its wards and departments across all campuses. We are pleased to have volunteers perform a wide variety of tasks to help compliment the heath care NUH provides.

A volunteer is any individual who agrees to work at or for NUH on either campus, or for any organisation and agencies which has an agreement to provide a voluntary service to NUH. Volunteers do not receive any remuneration for their work other than out of pocket expenses.

We have two types of volunteer at NUH, There are the individuals who offer their services directly to the NUH and are appointed and managed by the voluntary services department. We also have individuals who work for an agency or external organisation that has an agreement to provide a voluntary service to NUH.

Please note that we do not place volunteers on any of our Labour Suite’s, at the City Hospital or QMC Campuses of Nottingham University Hospitals.
