How to Get Volunteer Work in a Hospital?

Ive just finished my GCSES's and during my break i would like to vaulter to work at a hospital as it will be something to put on my CV.
However i have regrettably left it very late to apply and have not done much research into the application process at all.

How old are you? Because firstly you need to be 16 and need to do a dbs check. You also need to apply 6-12 months in advance, so probably too late for this term, unless you go abroad and/or know someone in the profession. The application process would inlude a CV, DBS CHECK and interview.

yh i am 16 what is a dbs check and how do you do it?
This summer my friend is volunteering at a hospital for a midwifery course. Your best bet is going onto the NHS website and going to the work experience section - although I do realise that it seems painfully obvious. However, most hospitals only accept those who live in a given area so be wary of the fact that your application could be turned down depending on where you live :smile:

You need to apply and you should get a form which you can then apply via. You can't directly apply yourself.
