Current Opportunities
St Kentigern Hospice offer a variety of volunteering opportunities, ranging from direct patient care to administrative support. Volunteers can work alongside healthcare professionals and provide assistance with tasks. For those who prefer to work behind the scenes, administrative tasks such as filing and data entry can be equally important in supporting our hospice operations.
In addition to direct patient care and administrative support, there are also opportunities to volunteer in various other areas such as fundraising, event planning, and community outreach. St Kentigern Hospice often organise events and activities, such as fundraisers and awareness campaigns, that require volunteers to help plan and organize.
Volunteering at St Kentigern Hospice is a great way to make a difference in the lives of those who are facing life-limiting illnesses. It can be a rewarding experience that offers opportunities for personal growth and learning. If you are interested in volunteering at a hospice, contact our Volunteer Coordinator Sharon Newell at sharon.newell@stkentigernhospice.org.uk or call 01745 585221
