Your Role

All roles have a role description and risk assessment. You can access a copy of your role description at any point from MyImpact or by contacting the Volunteer Team. As a volunteer, it’s important you only carry out tasks outlined in your role description. If you feel that you are being asked to carry out duties that go beyond those outlined in your role description, discuss this with either your ward/department supervisor or the Volunteers Team. In addition, all ward-based volunteers must meet the following criteria:

• Completed volunteer recruitment checks including Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), Occupational Health and eLearning. • Received at least 2 doses of the COVID19 vaccination.

• Have Immunisation Clearance carried out by

Occupational Health. • No high-risk volunteers (according to their

COVID19 risk assessment). • Undertake the Non-Clinical Ward-Based

Training (IPC, hand hygiene, falls prevention awareness and wheelchair use) provided by the Volunteer Team. • Undertake Food Safety Training.

Identification (ID) Badge

Prior to beginning your voluntary placement, you will be issued with an ID badge. You should wear your ID badge at all times whilst volunteering. If your ID badge is out of date, lost or stolen, please notify the Volunteer Team immediately.
