The NHS welcomes volunteers of all nationalities.
NHS volunteering cannot support you with visa applications or relocation logistics.
You must have the right to volunteer in the UK within your visa terms and conditions.
If you have the right to work in the UK, you also have the right to volunteer. You can find further details in your visa terms.
You should wait until you’re living in the UK before applying to volunteer. You may be asked to attend an interview in person or an identity check meeting before you can be confirmed in a role.
Recruiting organisations may also need to do overseas criminal records checks with you and these can take time.
You must contact the organisation you’d like to volunteer for if you have any questions about your eligibility.
