Young Volunteer (16–25) Interview Questions & Answers

To prepare for a young volunteer interview at an NHS hospital, think about why you want to volunteer now, how you will fit it around school, college, university or work, and how you would talk with patients, including older people and people with dementia. Expect simple scenario questions on confidentiality, what volunteers can and cannot do, telling staff when something worries you, and staying calm when you feel nervous. Use honest examples from school, sport, a part-time job or helping at home.
