Invitation to interview
If your application is successful, you will be invited to interview.
At interview, we take a copy of 3 pieces of ID to complete a DBS (Disclosure & Barring Services) application and discuss in further detail the role you have applied for and your motives for volunteering with us.
Contact referees
2 references will be taken up as soon as possible to minimise delays in the recruitment process. We advise that prospective volunteers inform their referees early to avoid delays.
DBS check
If you are successful in your volunteer role application at The Christie, we will ask you to fill out a DBS form.
Occupational health check
If you are successful in your volunteer role application at The Christie and you pass your DBS check, we will invite you to an occupational health screening appointment and may need to have your immunisations updated.

Online training should be completed at your earliest convenience following successful appointment. Training covers fire safety, information governance and safeguarding adults and children plus additional mandatory subjects.
