Volunteers

We follow the NHS Employers Guidelines for recruitment of volunteers.

We collect and store the following:

• full name
• contact information
• enquiry source
• volunteer role preferences
• recruitment documents as per NHS Employers Recruitment Guidelines

This information is stored in both hard copy and electronic. All recruitment information is stored in lockable offices which are only accessible by the Voluntary Services Department.

We will contact volunteers by telephone, email or letter. We will use your information to manage our volunteer vacancies and to help identify improvements to our service.

Information may be shared with other departments within the Trust, should it be required to enable you to carry out your volunteering role. Your information may also share it with other third party volunteer organisations that are on site, should you express an interest in joining them as a volunteer.

After seven years, all recruitment information is deleted and destroyed. A record of destroyed information is kept indefinitely.
