RIE Volunteer Opportunity
Make a visible difference to the health and wellbeing of patients, staff and visitors by joining our seasonal Garden Volunteer Squad at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Working alongside our Nature Ranger, you’ll help care for green spaces across the hospital estate while enjoying time outdoors and meeting new people. This flexible, once‑a‑month opportunity is perfect for anyone who wants to get involved without a long‑term commitment.
