  • If your application is successful you will be contacted to arrange an informal interview. This gives us a chance to find out more about you and for you to find out more about volunteering at St George’s and the role.

 

  • If you are selected for a role after interview, we will invite you to join the St George’s Volunteers. You will need to complete the same recruitment checks as paid members of staff. Therefore you must provide two references, be cleared by Occupational Health and complete the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If you have had a criminal conviction, caution, reprimand or warning, at any time in your life, you are required to tell us. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected.

 

  • Once all checks are cleared we will contact you to confirm a date for Induction and arrange a start date. Please note that the recruitment process takes between four to six weeks after interview
