VOLUNTEER

Volunteer with us

Volunteers are an essential part of the Kitrinos team, and we are always on the lookout for keen people who are willing to help. Following the fires in Camp Moria which destroyed our clinic, we are now operating in several undisclosed locations on Lesvos Island. We are currently in need of GPs, senior doctors, nurses and pharmacists; while we usually welcome applications from those without medical backgrounds who would like to assist our ground team, we are unfortunately unable to accept non-medical volunteers at the present time. However, feel free to fill in the non-medical form below if you would like us to keep your name on our records for a future time.

To allow volunteers to make the most of their stay and take quarantine period into account, we currently require volunteers to come for a minimum of 5 weeks (quarantine inclusive), unless otherwise specified. We particularly welcome long-term and returning volunteers, who will know how we operate and will be able to focus on contributing as much as possible.

Before applying to volunteer with us, please read over this post, which details several important updates.

To get some insight into what it's like to volunteer with us, take a look at our volunteer testimonials and #VolunteerDiaries,
or you can read this more in-depth piece written by one of our previous volunteers, Dr. Kat, about her time in Camp Moria, Lesvos.

Thank you for considering joining our amazing team of volunteers!

As health care professionals we are used to the privilege of being trusted upon by our patients. I found that to be no different working in the refugee camps of Greece. I was often overwhelmed with insights I would gain into the personal lives and journeys of our patients, as they felt comfortable sharing delicate stories, memories and incidents that had shaped their lives to this day. From my time volunteering, I gained much more than I ever gave, a new perspective on ethics, healthcare and humanity

Working as a doctor with Kitrinos Healthcare and living with the team for 6 weeks was a blast. Of course I can't promise you the exact group of excellent people I enjoyed but "greatness attracts greatness" as they say and if you are thinking of volunteering you must be pretty great yourself.

The work is engaging and varied, be prepared for an equal amount of non clinical work... Have fun
