Description
Leiston Shop is currently looking for volunteers to join it's team.
Various shifts available to volunteer with our team of volunteers.
Pop into the shop 38 High Street, Leiston and meet the manager, they'll be able to tell you about the shop, and offer a taster session to see if you like the role, or complete an online application and the Volunteer Team will get back to you.
Volunteering in our shops is a rewarding way to support the Hospice. You'll also meet people, make new friends, improve your skills and learn new ones, using your free time in a positive and worthwhile way. It's also a great way to enhance your career prospects and make your CV stand out from the crowd.
Every shop has a paid Manager and some have an Assistant Manager but the rest of the team are volunteers. Without them we would not be able to open our shops and therefore, raise the funds which go towards providing the care and support needed for the patients and their families, free of charge.
No previous experience is required, just a willingness to help.
It is a requirement of your volunteering role that you attend a Welcome Day and Moving and Handling training session. The welcome day will give you an overview of the hospice, its services and departments as well as giving you the opportunity to meet with members of staff and other volunteers. The afternoon is a moving and handling session giving guidance on a wide range of manual handling including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling or carrying.
