Why volunteer for us?
The roles our volunteers carry out are essential to the daily operation of Heart of Kent Hospice. Volunteers give their time across all areas of the Hospice and we couldn’t provide the quality care to terminally ill people and their families in our community without them.
However much time you can give and whatever role you choose to do, whether you join our Fundraising Team or decide to volunteer at your local Heart of Kent Hospice shop, you will be part of a network of volunteers all helping to make a difference.
Who can volunteer with us?
We welcome people from any background, with any level of experience, regardless of age, genders, race, faith, sexual orientations, parental or relationship status. We’re committed to equal opportunities and building diversity across Heart of Kent Hospice.
Commitment, reliability and flexibility are just some of the qualities needed to be a Heart of Kent Hospice volunteer.
What support will I receive?
We are a warm and welcoming bunch and you’ll be encouraged to use all your unique skills and talents. Our volunteer roles are all given relevant support, guidance and training so you can carry out your duties in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.
What impact will I have?
The support from our volunteers is invaluable from providing a much-needed cup of tea and a chat, to planting up the flower beds in the Hospice garden and assisting customers in our retail shops. They all make a profound impact and help Heart of Kent Hospice to continue providing outstanding care to those living with terminal illness and their families.
