Job description

BFUK are seeking enthusiastic, compassionate volunteers to support the delivery of our creative and educational hospital workshops. These sessions not only offer children and young people the opportunity to be imaginative, learn something new, and socialise, but also serve as a welcome distraction from time spent in the hospital. There is always something new to experience; previous workshops have included various crafts, make-up artistry, indoor gardening, hands-on VR demonstrations and mocktail making!

Our workshops take place in Great Ormond Street Hospital on Tuesdays and University College Hospital on Wednesdays.

As a Workshop Volunteer, you will:

  • Assist with the preparation of workshop activities and support the sessions to run smoothly
  • Chat and engage warmly with children, young people and their families during activities, offering encouragement and support
  • Adhere to safeguarding policies and report concerns to the BFUK Team
  • Have the opportunity to plan and lead your own workshop, if you wish

What do we look for in our Workshop Volunteers?

  • A desire to work with children (age 5-12) or young people (age 13-18)
  • A passion for inspiring creativity and learning
  • Commitment to BFUK’s core values: equity, empathy, empowerment, connection and advocacy

What do our Workshop Volunteers gain?

  • Enhanced DBS will be provided
  • Safeguarding Level One Training
  • Direct experience working with children and young people
  • Opportunities to develop teaching and facilitation skills
  • Experience working within a hospital setting
  • Opportunities to socialise with other members of our volunteer community

As a charity that supports children and young people, we make safeguarding individuals our top priority. For this reason, all volunteers are subject to an enhanced criminal record and disclosures check. We also ask all volunteers to adhere to our Safeguarding, Equality and Confidentiality policies. These are nothing to worry about and if you have any questions, our team are happy to support you.
