Volunteer Service Manager at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust since December 2017. The volunteer service is probably the most enjoyable role yet (shh don't tell anyone)!  It is most satisfying working with people of all ages and walks of life, who want to give back to the NHS, to those that simply want to know what it is like to work in the NHS and most of all give some time to enhance our patients experience for FREE! Having worked in this trust for nearly 17 years in different departments and working my way up to managing the recruitment team for 8 years prior to this role, where many of the skills and knowledge gained in recruitment has enabled me to quickly get to grips with the recruiting of volunteers to the NHS. Seeing the volunteer service grow within our trust has been exciting.  Raising the profile and engaging staff, which has been helped by the volunteer service team coming under the Director of Communications, this has ensured we get a lot of media coverage, internally and externally. Looking forward to the future with volunteers in SWBH Trust

Voluntary Services & Community Development Lead I lead a team focusing on recruiting volunteers for our 11 community hospitals and the many NHS services that we have out in the community. We have a staff headcount of 5000 so demand is high and we are currently engaged with over a 100 different services with over 50 different volunteer roles. We also have the opportunity to work closely with our third sector partners and encourage partnership working to help service delivery in primary and community care. I also head up a Volunteer Steering Group incorporating additional services where we have volunteer managers based across Sussex. My background is that of a clinician, mostly spent in community care as a Midwife, Macmillan nurse and Community nurse. Its  brilliant to be working so closely with our NHS staff, understanding the pressures they are under and supporting where we can. I feel very fortunate to be in such a satisfying job and very proud of the NHS and all that we achieve.

I've worked with Wales Council for Voluntary Action since 2003,   in the volunteering team. I was responsible for the Investing in Volunteers programme in Wales,  and have worked on  volunteering policy, and the development and delivery of training and information resources.  In 2018 we launched an all Wales volunteering database, volunteering-wales.org   which is managed by county voluntary councils in each county, and free for volunteer involving organisations to use. I'm currently Helpforce Cymru Manager  and work closely with Helpforce colleagues as well as with  colleagues in Third Sector, Third Sector Support Wales, Welsh Government and Health and Social Care organisations. I have a post graduate degree in nutrition and worked  for a  period in Health Promotion in rural Powys. Married to a welshman, learning welsh was part of the deal - and  has come in very useful  since!
