Hospital Volunteer (FVRH Falkirk)

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages and supports people aged 50+ to volunteer in their local communities. We are looking for people over the age of 50, who are interested in volunteering within Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

Volunteers provide important support to the NHS, with the aim of making a visit to the hospital a better experience for patients and visitors. We have several volunteering roles available in different NHS departments including meet and greet, in the discharge lounge, and in oncology.

Volunteers contribute to the well-being of patients and visitors by being a listening ear, a helpful and friendly face or even helping with a cup of tea. Our volunteers feel valued, make new friends and keep active in retirement.


Experience required

Are you friendly? Do you have good people and communication skills?
Volunteers should respect for patient confidentiality, have the ability to commit to a regular session
