Patient-facing Volunteering Opportunities

At St Luke’s, we care for and support people who are living with advanced and often complex illnesses, their families and carers. We have a number of patient-facing volunteer roles which involve supporting our patients, their families and friends, at our Little Common Lane & Ecclesall Road South sites. There are plenty of opportunities to develop your skills, gain valuable experience working in a caring profession, meet new people and help them improve and make the most of their lives, and make a positive impact on the Sheffield community. Whatever your interests or expertise, there’s a place for you to get involved.

Joe says being a volunteer has changed his life

“It has completely changed my outlook on life and what is important and what matters,” says Joe Shepherd, who volunteered weekly at our Ecclesall Road South Site.

“It has impacted on me in ways I can’t describe – I don’t quite have the words for it but it has been an eye-opening experience."
