Volunteering

Volunteering with us

No one wants to spend time in hospital, so every member of our staff plays a vital role in helping our patients get back to normal life as soon as possible.

Are you a friendly person looking to make a difference, who can offer support to patients and visitors of Benenden Hospital?

The Benenden family

Our team is, by its nature, inherently caring. We have an active social calendar, with fundraising, sporting, and festive events to attend. You can also enjoy free tea and coffee, and enjoy subsidised rates in our café.

CQC Outstanding

We are a CQC Outstanding private hospital. Our new hospital is a modern, healing space, designed to make our patients feel better.

Clinical excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest standards, with a 0% MRSA infection rate, and a rigorous approach to infection control. We proud to be a centre of clinical excellence in several of our specialist services.

Volunteering programme

Our meet and greet volunteers provide guiding services, reception and general information, and are on hand to help where required. We currently have opportunities in our main reception and outpatient areas.

Additionally, we are keen to hear from enthusiastic gardeners who may like to help with core gardening / grounds activities around our extensive estate.
