Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

Are you a fun-loving and motivated person who loves going the extra mile to improve the lives of others? Is it important for you to have a satisfying job where you feel supported?

We are a Charity Shop and Workshop for adults with both physical and mental disabilities and have a diverse mix of people who attend, ranging in age from early 20's to late 70's. We are really proud of the shop, how we stock the shelves, serve the customers and do general shop-based activities. It's not all shop work we do though! We also enjoy activities including swimming, going to the local pub for a drink and games, bowling, litter picking, long walks and going to the local park for a picnic.

Our shifts generally run from 09.00 - 15.30 or 09.30 - 16.00.
