Home, community, hospital

Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust offers a range of fantastic opportunities to grow your career across both hospital and community settings in south London. Whether you're looking to build new skills or take your experience to the next level, we are uniquely placed to provide the right environment to support your professional development. With colleagues working in people’s homes, in community clinics, and in our two hospitals, we have an outstanding breadth of knowledge and experience to draw from.

Our commitment to exceptional care is reflected in being the first trust of our kind in London to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ rating from the CQC for both overall quality and leadership. We exist to provide the best possible care for our patients and we do that by giving our colleagues what they need to be their best at work. We have won numerous awards from the HSJ and Nursing Times for the way we support our colleagues across all our services.

We are proud to be recognised for our outstanding cancer care, children's services, pioneering surgical teams, and exceptional rehabilitation services. Our maternity services have been rated the "Best in London" by women surveyed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), with parents travelling to Kingston to take advantage of our considerable experience and expertise.

Our Trust values

These words are important reminders, but it’s our behaviours that tell people who we are. We expect all colleagues to bring our values to life in their work.

Compassionate: We provide care with kindness, understanding, and empathy for all.
Inclusive: We embrace diversity and respect the unique contributions of every individual.
Collaborative: We foster teamwork across all levels, working together and with our partners to deliver the best outcomes.
Inspiring: We are committed to continuous improvement and excellence in patient care, staff development, and innovation.

Almost 50% patients at Kingston Hospital over the age of 75 have dementia. This is almost double the national average for a hospital of our size. Volunteers play an important role in supporting patients with dementia and their families to have the best possible experience in hospital.

Dementia Volunteers work closely with the ward staff to create the best possible environment and personalised care for patients with dementia whilst in hospital. As a Dementia Volunteer you will be taking the time to get to know each patient and engaging them in activities that are tailored to their individual interests and abilities. This can significantly improve the patient’s wellbeing and help prevent functional decline. The skill, empathy and knowledge of Dementia Volunteers’ can also provide reassurance to family members that their loved one will receive the personalised care they need.

We are particularly keen to hear from applicants who may be able to support patient activities with singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, hand massage, painting, drawing, or any other ability or skill which can help with patient activities.
