Job overview

Join our super volunteers!

We know just how much our wonderful volunteers can improve a patient’s stay here at Addenbrooke's or the Rosie hospital.

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who have a caring attitude and a commitment to supporting the Trust’s Values, Together - Safe, Kind, Excellent.

Being a volunteer has proved extremely rewarding for many here at CUH and provides great opportunities to learn new skills and experience in the healthcare setting, as you help to improve the care and experience of our patients, their families and support staff.

There are many different ways in which a volunteer can contribute. To find out more about these roles please visit the website link below. Here you will find in-depth information about the Volunteering community, and how they are valued and integral members of the patient care team here at CUH.
