Description

The National Volunteering Unit at NHS Health Education England (HEE) works to support volunteering across health and care (NHS, Social Care, and VCS) through the design, development and promotion of education, training and development resources and opportunities. We encourage staff who want to volunteer within the NHS, by providing unique and accessible projects and programmes to do so, and harness and embrace the power of the new technology and digital to drive work forward.
Our shared programme of work includes:
• The National Volunteering Certificate
• Learning Hub Content Curation and Creation
• Employer Supported Volunteering opportunities
• The National NHS Volunteer Forum and the National Volunteer Portal
• Digital Innovation in Volunteer Education, Training and Development
• Diversity and inclusion
• NHS Ambassadors programme
• Research, Publications, Communications and Events
• Volunteer to Career

The purpose of this Invitation to Tender is to expand the impact of the Volunteer to Career programme led in partnership by the Burdett Trust for Nursing and the charity Helpforce. The programme launched in June 2021 and aims to positively impact the NHS workforce recruitment needs at a local level through the design of Volunteer to Career initiatives.

The intention is to award to 6 further pilot sites.
