Online Application Form

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with NHS Lothian. Please make sure you have read all the information on our applying to be a volunteer page, are able to manage our minimum commitments and are willing and able to take part in our training programme before starting your application. 

For information on our different sites and where we are currently recruiting volunteers to, please read our Volunteering Opportunities page. Please ensure you check this page before submitting your application, applications for locations and roles not listed cannot be progressed at this time.

PLEASE NOTE: For the majority of our volunteering roles, we ask for a regular weekly commitment at the same time and day each week. Please ensure you can commit to this before applying to volunteer with us. If your availability varies from week to week and you cannot make this weekly commitment e.g., you do shift work with varying shift patterns, we will be unable to place you in a volunteering role at this time.

Once you have submitted your online application form, we will be in touch with you via the email address you have provided. Please check your junk/spam folder if you have not heard from us within 10 days.  Please be aware that recruitment can take longer at this time of year, so it may take up to 4 months from submitting your application to being placed in your role.
