Volunteering

PLEASE NOTE: The Trust will not be recruiting any new volunteers until further notice. This applies to both the Countess of Chester Hospital and Ellesmere Port Hospital. Please return to this page of the website for further updates.

Give it a go, you've got nothing to lose and so much to gain!

Why volunteer?

There are many reasons people give for wanting to volunteer:

To meet new people and make new friends.
To improve your CV.
To contribute to the community.
To gain confidence in a different environment
To broaden your horizons.
To make better use of spare time.
To learn new skills or experience in a health care setting.
To seek out exciting new challenges.

For younger volunteers?

Are you at school, college or university? Are you about to embark on your career path or are you still undecided? Many students and those wanting help with career choices can gain valuable experience, skills and understanding through volunteering that can help them to decide on career paths within the health sector or otherwise, as well as providing a valuable addition to CVs and applications to college and university.

For older volunteers?

Why not make the most of your experience and expertise by passing it on? Volunteering can represent a new phase of life, for many it is the ideal opportunity to do something they have always wanted to do but never had the chance. Volunteering means keeping busy, active and involved right through later life. No one is too old to have 'nothing' worthwhile to contribute and being older is your greatest asset.
