There's more!

We are increasing the number of volunteering opportunities and need your help to find some amazing people to join our volunteering family.

We are currently recruiting for volunteer drivers to help transport patients, family, and carers across the county.

Where possible, we like to use the same driver for regular journeys because this helps build relationships between driver and passenger. This helps with anxiety and stress some of our

patients may experience but also allows our volunteer drivers to get to know those they are helping.

Being a volunteer driver is a great way of meeting new people, making new friends and really making a difference to people’s lives. In return we pay your mileage at 45p per mile, so it can be a good way of supplementing your income. Journeys can be short or long, depending on your preference, and you are asked to drive your own vehicle.

This service is dearly valued by our patients because it helps keep families together whilst they are under our care.

We are also looking for a budding gardener at Webb’s Garden at our Eastern and coastal site in Canterbury. This person will need to have leadership and/or supervisory skills as they will be required to lead, guide and supervise a small team of dedicated volunteers. You will be a keyholder to the secluded garden, delegate specific gardening tasks, liaise with our existing lead volunteers and ensure safety requirements are met.

If you are interested in either role, please contact Voluntary services:kmpt.voluntaryservices@nhs.net or 01622 723210
