Volunteer Application form

Introduction

You will need to give details of two people who will provide you with a reference - people who are not related or have a personal relationship with you. One of them must have known you for at least two years. If you have difficulty completing this online form, it is available to download or we can post a paper copy out to you - email: [email protected]

If you are from the UK, you are free to volunteer. The majority of European Union (EU) citizens are free to volunteer within the UK. For those from outside the EU you need to check that your visa allows you to volunteer.

Contact Details

We welcome applications from all who are 14 years or over but there may be some restrictions applied to your volunteering.

Criminal Records - Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks

The Norfolk Hospice meets the requirements in respect of exempted questions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This will include details of cautions, reprimands, final warnings and convictions. Depending on the volunteering role, you will be subject to a DBS (or enhanced DBS) check. The Norfolk Hospice abides by the strict DBS Code of Practice with regard to disclosures whereby any conviction would not necessarily bar you from volunteering.

Please answer one of the following questions, depending on which role you’re applying for.

If you’ve answered ’Yes’ to either of these questions, we will ask you for more information about this.
