Volunteers provide practical help to patients and visitors, complementing the work of paid staff across the Trust. They do not carry out clinical work.
King’s Volunteers are not directly involved in patient care but help provide extra support. They come from all walks of life and represent the diversity of the communities that we serve. All are dedicated to making their hospitals friendlier and more comfortable for everyone.
There are volunteer roles in administration and people-facing functions, such as mealtime support/ helping visitors.
Our volunteers are at King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill, Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) in Bromley, Orpington Hospital and Beckenham Beacon.
Who can volunteer
Our volunteers are confident and enthusiastic people. The minimum age to volunteer is 16, and our current volunteer base ranges from 16 to 88. Seventy-four per cent are from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background.
