Volunteer Opportunities Update

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with East London NHS Foundation Trust.
At present, our Volunteer Services Team has temporarily paused the creation of new volunteer opportunities as we focus on developing our upcoming programmes.

We expect to relaunch new and exciting opportunities from April 2026 onwards, so please check back then for updates.

In the meantime, we kindly ask that you do not contact other Trust teams directly about volunteering. They are extremely busy supporting patient care and will not have information about volunteer placements.

We truly appreciate your understanding and patience and we look forward to welcoming new volunteers again soon.

Warm regards,
The Volunteer Services Team

Our Volunteers are indispensable members of our Trust, contributing their time, skills, and dedication to support our mission of providing exceptional care and service to our community.

Their invaluable contributions play a vital role in enhancing the quality of care we deliver and enriching the experiences of patients, families, and staff.

Volunteers bring unique perspectives, talents, and compassion to their roles, fostering a sense of warmth, empathy, and connection within our healthcare environment. We deeply appreciate and value the commitment and generosity of our volunteers, recognising their immense impact on the well-being and satisfaction of those we serve. They embody the spirit of service and selflessness, embodying our shared values and enriching the fabric of our Trust with their contributions.

'As a medical graduate volunteer, I am humbled by the opportunity to be a source of comfort and healing for patients during their most vulnerable moments.'
