Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteering with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust covers a wide variety of different opportunities and new roles are being developed regularly.  All the roles available are shown on the Trust Getting Involved pages and highlighted below. 

If nothing catches your interest below, please get in touch or re-visit the site in the next couple of weeks.

Current Opportunities for Volunteering

Waiting List Support

As part of an NHS England and NHS Improvement funded project, volunteers are being sought to support those waiting for assessment and treatment in CAMHS (Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services), Neuro-Developmental Conditions and Adult Eating Disorder Services for Wiltshire.  Volunteers will be asked to undertake one of the two roles below and it is hoped these will expand and grow as the project progresses:

  • Volunteer Care Navigator - engaging in regular telephone calls to check in, encouraging and supporting with signposting to other local charities and organisations that might offer specific support and highlighting wellbeing activities.  You may also assist individuals attending sites by providing key information on access, parking and what they should expect on arrival – a known source of anxiety for those waiting to attend services for the first time.
  • Volunteer Group Facilitator – supporting activity groups and/or group meetings by using existing skills or experiences to support those attending, ensuring the groups are well run and promoted to those hoping to attend and supporting the group leader with administration and room set up.  The activities are likely to include things like art and gardening but may vary depending on the skills of the volunteers who come forward.

Ward Support

Volunteers getting involved with the wards mainly assist by engaging patients in conversation, activities or supporting day to day functions.  These vary depending on the ward and can also be flexible to meet the needs of the volunteer.  Volunteers are currently being sought for this sort of role in:

  • Didcot Community Hospital
  • Wallingford Community Hospital

Green Spaces Support

Volunteers have the opportunity to get involved with developing, maintaining and enhancing the green spaces across the Trust to benefit patients, staff, families and carers by providing safe, calm and therapeutic gardens or meadows.  This role is mostly outside and involves physical activities although no heavy lifting or use of machinery.  Areas currently seeking volunteers are:

  • Banbury - The Elms Centre
  • Didcot - Ridgeway Centre
  • Oxford - Warneford and Littlemore sites
  • Wantage 
  • Wycombe - Saffron House
